Catherine “Kitty” O’Meara

An people stayed at home

And read books

And listened

And they rested

And did exercices

And mad art and played

And learned new ways of being

And stopped and listened

More deeply

Someone meditated, someone prayed

Someone met their shadow

And people began to think differently

And people healed.

And in the absence of people who

lived in ignorance ways

Dangerous, meaningless and heartless,

The eart also began to heal

And when the danger ended and

people found themselves 

They grieved for the dead 

And made new choices

And dreamed of new visions

And created new ways of living

And completely healed the eart

Just as they were healed
