silken thread holding triangle of security
trust, authenticity, safety,
this circle of nonjudgmental warmth
making it possible to dig deep and to verbalise
assured of listening, certainty of being heard
the reflector holds the space
closely harvesting and gleaning
observing and mindfully noting
at the close promised insight
By Glenys Henriette
Sit in a room with the others
My idealistic sisters and brothers
Offering insight
Finding common ground
The strength of circle
The round
Recognising gaps
Existing in cracks
As ideas revolve
with freedom to evolve
Looking for solutions
From contributions
Shared value and experience
A journey of discovery
For social recovery
An opportunity to connect
Without regret
Or fear of conflict
To build a bridge
A better way
For us to work
With a sense of play
There is no them and us
Just people and community
A sense of connection
Built through reflection
With honesty and truth
Participate to regenerate
The system change
Spread the word
Hour by hour
Because real change
Is community
That's true power
By Ross Monaghan
When the mud and leaves become dirt
When the creatures become animals
And only humans are people
When a tree is nature
But we are not
And we're scared of life's cycle
Because we only see the rot
It's time to change...
It's time to stop and rearrange.
So desperate for consensus
We can't see the fences
The tight reign on our brain
Causing us pain
It's time to stop....
And rearrange.
When it's fight, fight, fight,
they're wrong and we're right
It's time to stop
and be with a tree
inspiration found naturally
it's there and it's free
just look and you'll see
order and spontaneity
lets stop and just be.
When we can't see the stars
for the iron bars
on a construct we've made
in the bed that we've laid
And we can't feel the rain
for the fog of pain
its time to stop....
and rearrange
