The Only Remedy for Wrongdoing
The only remedy for wrongdoing
is to begin doing right.
The only lasting redress of grievance
is the continuous act of kindness.
This is our betrothal, our marriage,
our family, children, friends.
Love stands waiting in the marketplace.
Who can afford to approach it?
We live in its ambience and breathe its expectation.
The giver of flowers brings us hope
and asks nothing in return.
