Come let us play
devils advocate
and just pretend
that Newtonian physics
were wrong.
Let’s just pretend
there was NO interdependence
or cause and affect
that lines of dominoes
do NOT knock into one another
in great clacking, chain reactions
so pleasing to the ears.
Let’s just pretend
that intending
the well-being of others
does NOT effect others .
O.K.
we can play with that.
Even if that was the case
then practicing
kindness meditation
would still benefit us
as the individuals
who practice it.
But how,
how could it do that?
Simple!
By wishing others well
we are strengthening
the neural pathways
of our midbrain
replete with anterior gyrate
and it’s firmament
of mirror neurons;
thus increasing
the potentiality and probability
of our empathy
and our cooperation
and as such helping us
to be more of the people
that our dogs
already think we are.
Let us conclude
with a simple
call to action
