775 Love This Miraculous World - Steve's Poem

Day 775 Saturday, April 30, 2022

Our understandable wish

to preserve the planet

must somehow be

reduced

to the scale of our competence.

Love is never abstract.

It does not adhere

to the universe

or the planet

or the nation

or the institution

or the profession

but to the singular

sparrows of the street,

the lilies of the field,

"the least of these

my brethren."

Love this

miraculous world

that we did not make,

that is a gift to us.
