because some of us are blind.
The birds don’t stop singing
because some of us are deaf.
The heart doesn’t stop loving
because some of us are afraid.
What lets the flower in the forest
bloom though no one is watching?

This excerpt is from my book, The Way Under The Way: The Place of True Meeting, 2016 Nautilus Award Winner.
