Waiting, watching

……….

Watchful and ready

Unknown remains the future

Run in wisest joy

……….

A haiku for you, in the frenzy of these polarized times. Whatever comes of tomorrow’s election and its aftermath, it is hard not to see more cruelty and violence on the horizon.

Can we still open conversations that help us remember our common humanity and love for our fellow citizens? Can we build our way back to peace with each other? Maybe. Maybe not.

Let’s keep trying. It’s worth it.
