Distribution

Each breath, thought, word, step, act

is an act of distribution.

Some are completely self-centered;

others reach more broadly.

Ultimate denial comes when

we convince ourselves that the aggregate

of our own distributions

is beyond the arc of history's examination.

We may not be able 

to undo the past, but we are 

certainly capable of imagining

a more hopeful future.

Existence is a window of opportunity

for rebuilding our lives into relationships

that need less repair today than yesterday;

connections that feed the world's deep need today.
