There is in me a sacred part that
seeks pure silence and gentle peace,
and communion exquisite with the
tenderness and beauty of the world.

But then another part that feels the
pain of the world and resists the
striving of systems for control as
a person who will not be restrained.

This is me, living urgently between the silence
and the pulsing noise of the machine that
grinds its teeth at me, but I face the machine
and bare my teeth and make my stand as me.
