OOPS ...here is full poem

[Kate Atherton]

We have not come to take prisoners
-Hafiz

We have not come here to take prisoners
But to surrender ever more deeply
to freedom and joy

We have not come into this exquisite world
to hold ourselves hostage from love

Run my dear,
From anything
That may not strengthen your precious budding wings

Run like hell my dear
From anyone likely
To put a sharp knife into the sacred, tender vision
of your beautiful heart

We have a duty to befriend those aspects of obedience
that stand outside of our house
And shout to our reason
"O please, O please, come out and play"

For we have not come here to take prisoners
or to confine our wondrous spirits
But to experience ever and ever more deeply
Our divine courage, freedom and light!
