Remember how I love life/
In all little ways/

Pregnant with symbolism/
Uninterpreted/

Pregnant with symbolism/
Gives birth to our dreams/

Choice is your secret language/
Personal value/

Utter your secret language/
Declare Values/

Create meanings from actions/
Like Life is watching/
#haiku

4b. Interpret your life/
Create meanings from actions/
Like G_d is watching/
#haiku

Humans’ crazy behavior/
Without our judgement/
#haiku

6. We do what we want/
& live with consequences/
That we have chosen/
#haiku

Judgements from a loving G_d/
Just random outcomes/

With bread and circus will not/
Improve anything/

Keeping us comfortable/
Is a noble cause/

Can’t please the comfortable/
Or be convenient/

To build community on/
& we need dissent/

We need each-other to live/
Even “enemies”/
