Together

If we don't keep ourselves in this together,

we will find ourselves out of it, apart.

Judging others is like

playing relationship-Jenga.

Once you assign motive 

to another's words, actions, or beliefs,

you remove a piece of the tower

from which your shared story is built.

You cannot replace it,

when you realize

what you've done,

no matter how hard you try.

Eventually, the whole thing

comes crashing down, and you're left

with nothing but all the king's horses

and all the king's men.
