Assemblage 23 Otherness
To give completely
From within yourself
To treat compassion
As the truest form of wealth
No small adjustment
For the average soul
To give yourself away
In order to be whole
To trust completely
With an open heart
To risk the wounds
Of having it all fall apart
Seems paralyzing
With implicit risk
But the packaging
Is not what makes the gift
It isn't weakness
It isn't frailty
It's being human
And it's sustaining
To love completely
And utterly
To give yourself away
So unselfconsciously
Is altruism
In its purest form
A kind of otherness
From which ego is torn
It isn't weakness
It isn't frailty
It's being human
And it's sustaining
