How and when to help


What can we do 
With what the world expects from us?
 So much is broken: how can we know 
Where to direct what healing energy we have? 
How do we discern what — 
 Like falling leaves or the setting sun — 
Is part of a natural cycle of life and death, 
And what might need our intervention; 
Where we can effect productive change, 
And what must be left 
 For time or other forces to resolve?
