Stepping Out of Judgment

photography by Susa SilvermarieWhen a human being
asks for money help,
let me stop
and take a sideways step,
out of narrow judgment.
If someone asks,
that’s enough,
that’s all I need to know.
May I smile
straight into their eyes,
and come back home
to the circle where
giving and receiving are the same.

I sense the currents
flow east to west
and north to south,
flow sky to earth
and from my heart to theirs;
the movement between us
matching the vibration
of our common Source.
I sense the dance,
the congruence,
the concord of alignment.
the circle where
giving and receiving are the same.

Particulars of need
need not be my business.
If someone asks,
that really is enough.
Light and shadow make the world,
as every artist knows.
Any heaviness, I make myself
with my lumbering judgments.
Lightness
I create by stepping out,
all the way out of judgment
to the circle where
giving and receiving are the same.
