Simple Formula

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's a simple formula:

Just consider 

effects of decisions 

on others,

those who are here now 

and those who are coming,

those who are Human 

and those who otherwise.  

If that decision 

results in harm 

to another living Being,

another option is pursued.

It's a simple formula,

leading with the Heart.

It's a simple formula,

considering the wellbeing 

of the broader community

rather than exclusively
one's own gain. 

At first, it is a bit of a tangle

in today's mixed up times. 
We begin to see a larger oneness
in our connection with the Other.
This plan works.

And as a result,
we enter into an infinitely 

more beautiful world, 

community, 

daily walk.
It's a simple formula:
Lead with Love.
