Daily reparations


Though we may at root be one, 
Wherever two or more are gathered, 
There will inevitably be divisions: 
To remain in relationship will always necessitate
 The building and the maintenance of bridges; 
A conscious and shared determination 
To fix whatever’s broken 
 Before the rot can spread 
To the point where all connection 
From one side to another is lost. 
Rebuilding is ever so much harder 
Than the effort required to effect 
Those daily repairs.
