Enough

A poem of encouragement

Enough!
Enough hate
Enough grudges
Enough judgment
Enough storytelling

Enough!
Enough mindlessness
Enough wandering without wonder
Enough absence
Enough disconnection
Enough apathy
Enough numbness

Enough!
Enough carelessness with precious and irreplaceable gifts
Of Life
Of Body
Of Family
Of Friendship
|Of Community
Of Relations
Of Beings
Of Existence
Enough!

I know you are tired
I know you are in a daze of the overwhelming 
I know you are in a haze of the complex and volatile and uncertain
I know you have suffered injury
I know you are hurt
I know you just want to go to sleep

But in your sleep
Not only are you overwhelmed: You also overwhelm
Not only are you confused: You also confuse
Not only do you live your injury: You also injure
Not only do you live your hurt: You also hurt
Not only do you carry on sleeping: You also allow all to carry on in Slumberland
Oblivious

So wake up

And enough!
