Bridges or Barriers


help or Serve.

stand or Move.

break or Build.

When I say "bridges," I don't mean "a helping hand."

I mean horizontal structures. 

Because a bridge built vertically

is a ladder toward hierarchy.

 

You are great.

You can build.

 

Bridges or barriers?

Strenghts or deficits?

Voices or silence?

When you hear voice, reward it with a megaphone.

And organize collectively.

And let souls speak beautifully.

Listen as they deconstruct it.

 

We are great. 

We will build.

 

"I slept, and dreamt that life was joy.

I awoke, and saw that life was service.

I acted, and behold, service was joy."
