Secure, rooted in the earth.Head in the clouds.The fangs of compassion pierce my flesh
As blood drips from my wound to the ground
I am reminded of the watery relationship we share.
Change.
Did I serve with all of myself?
Did I prostrate myself on the doormat of humanity?
Did I bare witness to the dying and to those celebrating joy?
Did I bow to the magnificence of earth?
Did I serve in action, thought and speech?
Did I serve?
Did I serve with all of myself?
