is my lens wide enoughto take in the beauty

the desecration

the complexity

and simplicity

the regular

and the extraordinary…

is my lens wide enough to capture diversity

random movement

patterns of exquisite correlation …

is my lens wide enough

to sense shadow

and depth

purpose and passion

dependence

and autonomy …

is my lens wide enough

to know the differencebetween right and wrong

curved

and circular

straight

and narrow …

is my lens wide enough to see you and me

the distance between us

the ideas

that mightseparate us forever …

may ourperspective

shift and changestretch and expandopen and inform.

as those too often captured

by a too narrow lens, we pray,amen
