At the heart of every being


At the heart of every being lies this innocence.
It is this innocence we're called to see, and to respect; 
to call out to when we speak, and to honor, 
by choosing -- when tempers rise, and epithets are hurled --
to react, not with venom, or with arrows of our own,
but with a quiet word, a searching look of love.
