The people of the world

fold their hands,

the people of the world

close their eyes.

Can we hear

their chants & songs?

Can we feel

the rising & falling

of their breath?

The people of the world

love,

the people of the world

hate.

How do we respond?

Can we see with our inner eye

that open space

between love & hate?

It is an invitation

to the people of the world.
