I think about what’s important
And I come to realize
That everyone is.
Everyone.
I wonder about what’s essential
And I come to realize
That not much is.
Not really much.
But great harmony arises when
Importance versus difference
Is balanced.
I do not solve the paradox.
I do not solve the mystery.
I live in them
I struggle with them.
I search with them
As they search and struggle with me.
And if I can try to involve
All who are important
In the few things that are essential,
Then I might make the impossible
A bit more possible,
The improbable a bit more probable.
