Revolution

"It's only by forgetting yourself that you draw near to God." - Thoreau

When ...

The hungry are fed.

The lost found.

We can extend love to the unlovable.

Loving all as ourselves.

Man can no longer remember how to wage war.

We no longer use the earth as our wastebasket.

When ...

Weeds aren't killed and trampled but instead allowed to flourish.

We stop judging each other.

The blind see and the lame walk again.

We can all join hands, lift each other up and bow down to the almighty.

Then,

and only then,

will we be talking about a ...

... revolution.

Author's Note

"Concord River is remarkable for the gentleness of its current, which is scarcely perceptible, and some have referred to its influence the proverbial moderation of the inhabitants of Concord, as exhibited in the Revolution, and on later occasions." - Thoreau
