delusion

my land, my forest, my meadow -
these are no possessions, any more than
my son, my wife, my mother.
 
all of these "mine" denote relationships.
the possessive pronoun names
what is assigned to my person -
through a cosmic global logic,
that this humanity has lost and that
through all false claims of possession
is to be re-established every minute,
mentally, emotionally, inside the heart….

the concept of possession
is to be replaced here
with that of responsibility.

what is holy:
beings, nature, life -
cannot be possessed.
one can but care for it.

the illusion of wrong ownership
is the beginning of the war.
war is based on delusion.
