WHAT IT’S ABOUT
We are more than the sum of our parts,
more than the sum of our labors.
We are heart and emotion,
soul and spirit,
suffering and pain,
love and forgiveness,
tenderness and need.
And it is the miracle of all that we are
that we bestow upon those we cherish
it is the miracle of life held sacred,
no matter the vessel, chipped or broken,
intact or fragmented.
For what we are is the sum of those
we love, and the sum of those who love us.
And love is need,
And need is love.
And if a soul have none of this, then let him
look until he finds
that love is a hunter,
for we are more than the sum of our parts.
We are heart and emotion,
soul and spirit,
suffering and pain,
love and forgiveness,
tenderness and need.
And it is the miracle of all that we are
that we bestow upon those we cherish.
