There is a place where you are not alone,
where your voice sings with every voice that has ever sung,
or will ever sing.
In this place you know that no encounter was ever wasted
and that no face passed you by unnoticed in the crowd.
Here you are allowed to choose again,
and in this time you decide not to discount or overlook anyone.
You move quickly past no one merely to get to
someone else who pleases you more.
Now you cannot see a single one you do not welcome,
and in the harmlessness of your vision,
all return your gentle gaze.
