‘Equilibrium’
To be both fully human
and fully alive
is to be in touch
with joy and pain
holding both
in balanced equilibrium
as though they
were the same,
to drink willingly
from each cup
without reserve
as we learn to thrive
within this world
And think no less
than they deserve
of one than another
esteeming all
as sister, brother,
revealing how
we can survive
our time on earth
firmly planted
in Kingdom reality
and shared humanity
