Black & white thinking
Respectfully lacks a meeting
Where two minds could both exist
Respectfully taking a risk.

All the holes & cracks
Actually point to what both lacks
A canyon growing vast
Based on nothing but the past.

Tree rings growing together
Will help everyone weather
Wood slices revealing
Our tree of life healing.

All those imperfections
Become organizing motifs
Informing we have choices
For turning over a new leaf.
