Actual knowledge is like the morning sun,
a long gradual process
sometimes blinding.
Self-control and delayed gratification require
more than acquiescence
more than reward.
A heart must be exercised,
stretched to accommodate
another viewpoint,
another perception;
understanding and acceptance
are learned, they require strength,
commitment,
compassion.
Healing will come when each person
answers and makes amends,
searches for peace
in change,
not chains.
Holism
is not a set of rules.
It is
opening the eyes
and the soul.
It is
questioning
and seeking answers.
It is being willing to be wrong
and strong enough
to make it right.
