What If We Discover How to Live?
What If We Discover How to Live?

What if we discover
that this is how we were meant to live?
What if by sheltering from the world,
We find shelter in each other?
*
What if we discover
That this is how we save the planet?
Not by using, craving, hoarding, earning, making, shipping, storing
more and more and more and more and more and more,
But by simply doing less?
*
What if we discover
That life is more entertaining when lived,
Than when watched?
That love is more meaningful when given,
Than when received?
What if we learn that
Hope is more fierce than fear ever could be?
That waiting and watching are more pleasant than grasping and greeding?
That Good will conquer both ignorance and evil if we believe it can?
