What Else?

Even when the clouds weep,
or the earth cries out in pain,
it is possible
to love throughout the day,
to find joy midst the suffering.
Walking through our world,
it is possible
for every living soul
to express innate wisdom,
being and acting as harmless
as they know how to be.
It is possible
to shed anger and hate,
to smother them with
charity, sympathy, tenderness,
benevolence, compassion.
It is possible
to practice radical humility.
It is possible
to notice that what is convenient for us
is inconvenient for others.
It is possible
to slow down,
walk more slowly on the earth,
be healing and strong,
rejoice in the day.
It is possible.
What else are days for?
