There is sitting still,
being quiet,
allowing the days
to have their own
rhythm and flow,
and there is imposing
our will on the day,
every day.
Two very different ways
to go about living,
and they shake out
among the indigenous peoples
and the conquistadors.
Conquistador mentality
takes center stage
among the rulers of the world,
and of the world religions.
Indigenous peoples' mentality
finds its place
among the spiritual seekers worldwide.
Between the haves and the have-nots,
there is a line
that has more to do with mentality
than with money and power.
If you are preaching to
the wealthy and powerful,
you are wasting your time
and theirs.
