Storytelling can be more than a blog post, essay, or book.  It can be an emoji, a meme, a selfie, or a tweet.  It can become a movement for social change.

With Single Voice

Conflict’s illumination

Breathing at darkened crossroads

Competing sides debate

Feuding over each thought sowed

 

Wisdom arrives with patience

Lowering volume through grace

Pausing time to listen

Slowing down rhetoric’s pace

 

Conflict’s common ground merges

Finding compromise through peace

Hearing words of reason

Solving puzzle’s missing piece

 

Wisdom empowers new day

Offering one blessed choice

Walking together now

Gathering with single voice
