What would happen if
From the book THE RHYTHM OF STILLNESS
What would happen if
I took my heavy insecurities
and slashed them into pieces
sewing them back together
into a lightweight, carefree cardigan?
What would happen if
I bounced around
my tightly held opinions
and somehow caught
what I had missed before?
What would happen if
I took a hunk of pride
melting it like butter
then mixing in the ordinary
to make a humble pie?
What would happen if
I always spoke the truth
letting it soar from my soul
like a caged bird released
to fly among the clouds?
What would happen if
I saw each human being
as an exquisite piece of art
carefully crafted
by a loving sculptor?
What in the world would happen?
