If, tomorrow morning,  you had the opportunity
to put your one, best line of advice
on the front page of every  newspaper,
or every website,
across the globe,
what would it be?
If you could boil down
to one two- to six-word headline
the organzing concept of your life,
what would you say?

    We Are All One?
    Only Kindness Matters?
    Love Is All?
    Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ?
    There Is No God but Allah?
    Believe in Yourself?
    Don't Sweat the Small Stuff?
    It's Me against the World?
    Peace Is the Only Way?
    Always Give in First?
    Be Grateful?

Seriously,
how would your headline read?
What single true thing
would you hope
might open the eyes of humanity
and bring wholeness and healing
to  our hurting, fractured world?
