Dependence

Even though there are
Separate objects and
Separate people in
The world, the idea
Of separateness is
An illusion. Every
Thing and everybody
Is connected in a web
Of mutual relatedness
That leaves nobody
Out in the cold. And
The world is an
Interdependent cosmic
Machine.

It Doesn’t Matter

What matters and what
Doesn’t is a big item on
The mind of most people.
It’s something a lot of
People lay awake nights
Mulling over. Then it
Becomes clear for them,
And they can finally
Sleep by counting Sheep.
