Breathing History

Unitarian Universalism
feels as old as Taoism
governs as old as conscientious breathing
Yang strength in
and Yin flow out
smells as fresh as spacious time
in Here
and out Now.

UUs, like Taoists
and Buddhists
and JudeoChristians,
and Hindus,
and Jains,
and some Agnostics and Atheists,... 
"affirm and promote respect
for the interdependent web of all existence
of which we are a part."

We do not affirm
or promote
or even breathe 
respect for autonomous walls
against all multicultural life
in which we spin timeless solidarity.
