"One who conquers others is strong; One who conquers oneself is mighty." I care not to conquer others, but to simply understand, and help if I may do so. Conquering myself is another story, this story; one that is sometimes not simply for me to understand.

Bees, Trees, Me

Disrespect of the bee,
Disrespect of the tree,
Is disrespect of me.

To help the bee,
To help the tree,
Is to help me.

To destroy the bee,
To destroy the tree,
Is to destroy me.

To love the bee,
To love the tree,
Is to love me.

The life of the bee,
The life of the tree,
Is the life of me.
