The answer will come
at right angles to the conflict,
it will not take sides,
it will startle all sides to silence

There is a way out
of what seems most intractable —
it is the knowing
that we aren’t caused by one another
and that our cause will speak within,
to each of us,
and lift us up and show us how to go.
