Verdant fields need the rain, but also the sun Life responds to both and depends on each A duality of necessity, a melding of purpose, A lesson to teach

We are finite, limited, incomplete, absent all the skills needed for the common good, skills our brothers and sisters possess Tolerance recognizes our interdependence and our independence, It's the virtue that lets us live together, but be ourselves
The greater good is unification, inclusion A single principle for diverse elements. The nonsensical question that unifies: "An apple falls, does the moon?" asked Isaac Newton Lesser minds parse and carp, Greater ones unify.
We are the verdant fields needing rain and sun But unlike plots of grass we need each other.
