Who here has shot at someone?
Who here has been in jail?
Who here has been beaten by the police?
Who here has cried after a mother’s death?
A father’s death?
A friend’s death?
The birth of a child?
Who here listens?
Who here sees?
Who here speaks?
Who here feels?
We all have these gifts.
To use our senses to get at the truth,
That Life is all there is.
Birth, life, death.
The circle.
One last question.
Who here is a square?
You have heard the question.
You know the answer.
Only one answer will redeem you.
Love.
To love is to not be a square.
Take it from me,
Because I can answer all my questions with a single response.
I have, and, yes, I love.
It’s the only answer to everything, even suffering.
