A matter of fact

Wendy Mulhern

Evil is not a thing
It’s just all the imagined
wrong answers

2+2=4 is not dogged
by 2+2 as 7, not haunted
by 2+2 as 3. It doesn’t need
to fight off all the numbers
that are not its answer

We are secure
in the rightness of being—
in the allness of Love
with us every moment

We are kept safe
in the imperative of Truth—
Truth not an abstraction
but the present fact of care,
of Love that governs
each breath of our being

Wendy Mulhern
