Where will we be as a nation
on this road of truth
before reconciliation
in one year, less one week
as we live-into-a-second
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
on Orange Shirt Day, 2022?
Maybe this is the wrong question.
From my own sacred teachings,
from Indigenous wisdom traditions on this land
I hear that today, right now
is the only moment
we can embody and live.
What will we do today?
Will we share a glass of clean drinking water?
Will we visit someone who has lost his mother?
Will we remember the one who has lost her life-partner?
Will we remember those in jail?
Will we feed those who are hungry?
Will we clothe those who are without?
Will we take someone in?
