THIS PERFECT DISCONNECT
We measure ourselves by our intention
knowing we mean no harm
We measure others by their impact
- the harm they are causing us
This perfect disconnect
this dividing rift
means we drift even further apart
Can we bear to hear
the impact we have on others
irrespective of our intent?
Holding quietly our dearly held
excuses and explanations
Can we listen to their intent
no matter how hurt or wronged we may feel
Can we judge others how we judge ourselves
Can we connect this disconnect
by walking across the bridge
between intention and impact
