“Langston’s Rivers” @cross_hali

My soul runs deep

With rivers too

With a mother’s concern

They can thrash & rage

Like a storm

Or relax into tranquility

From a lover’s touch

These rivers are wise and

Know of the ancients

Flowing back to Eden

Finding,

The rivers in our souls

All have the same origin

Branching in a network

From the tree of life

If you look inward

You will see

You too run deep

Like a river

Come brother, sister

Let us connect our rivers…

Your favourite quote: “Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

~Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Your one wish for the world: I had a teacher who used to ask, "If not you-- then who?" Rumi also said it well, "Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself." My one wish would be that I would have the courage to be that change.
