Sunlight

There is a crack, a crack in everything That’s how the light gets in -- Leonard Cohen

Believe you can I can we can move beyond our learned certainties to find the dancing singing let-going gently holding

listen to another’s argument as real as your own the door will open a crack we all own hate and great stores of loving

we’ll tear holes in our stubborn minds dare the impossible into sunlight
