The Common Good

Easy to forget the common good

immersed as we are in our petty

but oh-so-vital predicaments:

what to wear, what to eat,

where to go, whom to see.

We are consumed from dawn to dusk

with the trivia of our lives.

 

So let's reflect for a time

on the common good.

Of all the energies of our existence

it is surely oneness that is

the essential component.

How to engage so as to remain aware of

our common existence?

This is the question to which I will apply myself

and in so doing I will stumble upon the answer—

because that's how it works.

What I give my attention to

is what will grow into life.

The answer may still be beyond me

but I'm gaining on it.
