How does abundance lead to hope?

 How does abundance lead to hope?

The mathematics of the universe,

A favorite song,

Lived grooves,

Laugh lines,

Cutting our faces

Our worn canyons hold

Treasures and cool.

Shadows,

Spirits,

Sacred.

You are abundance

Even while some breaths still hurt.

 

We could trade pains

Or we could work together

And build a home

For everything we have walked through.

There we will trade stories and

Fill libraries of “lost” stories.

But we were always here.

Circles of those who did not fit.

Those who asked the questions because they needed answers.

Those whose bodies were policed as crimes.

 

We still see their dreams

We water their seeds

We rest under the trees they grew with hope.
