This poem is about moving forward into the future, looking up, not looking down, living holistically, not partial to tribalism.<\/p>\n

The Weigh Forward<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Awe ways ahead
\nSum times behind
\nNever beneath
\nAs earth is before me
\nI may know
\nWhat is behind me
\nNever the less
\nI cannot no
\nWhat is ahead of me
\nAnd may I have
\nNothing
\nToo due
\nWith that beneath me
\nAs heavens above
\nMay I sojourn
\nMore than just
\nA part from the whole
\nAnd for all one knows
\nFind oneself
\nWay way forward<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
