a little relevant Hafiz

A Great Need


Out

Of a great need

We are all holding hands

And climbing.

Not loving is a letting go.

Listen,

The terrain around here

Is

Far too

Dangerous

For

That.

So simple and so lovely. Yet, sadly, it feels like a distant dream.

I dunno, the call for collective love during such a crucial and difficult time really resonates for me.

It feels relevant and present, but maybe Santa Cruz allows for more of a feeling of community and connectedness than DC.
