The word document I found this on, said it was created 16 March 2010!!
Like a leaf quivering in the wind,
So too a puppy dog’s fur
Quivering as he teaters on the edge
Of his first swim
Maybe more violent?
Violence? What is violence?
It is all those ugly things
In the world, like war
And abuse, and starvation …
And it is the idle, crappy
Thought about one’s thighs, or one’s stomach
About not being good enough…
What is non-violence?
The absence of these things?
Or something more?
A loving thoughts
A caring smile,
A generous act.
We are such simple beings
When it all boils down
I love you
