Positive Changes

Ruth van Veenendaal, 1-5-02
Woodbury MM

Change the chemistry
By sitting in other seats—
Spiritual Feng Shui.

Try moving ahead,
Helping each other to change
Patterns that are old.

Out with the useless,
Changing the order of stuff;
Embracing the new.

Out of the chaos ...
Creating a peaceful world
By starting at home.

illustration by Judy Scott

Build community—
Sharing the tasks which block us,
Helping us move on.

Positive changes
Like dominoes—push each one—
To help others move.

Possibility—
Of building a loving group—
True community.

Commitment to love—
Commitment to each other—
A family of Friends.

The gift of yourself—
Being present for others—
A loving presence.
