Dominoes

On this earth
  we are
     connected
           one to
        another
    to another
       to another
    to another
       to another
        to another
      to another
   to another
       to another
     to another
  to another
   to another
  to another
   to another
      to another
        such that
     whatever
        happens to
            one of us
      happens
             to
           all
         of

           us.

Peaceful Pieces: 

Poems and Quilts About Peace

I love this poem, both the sentiment behind it and the way Hines makes her words look like a row of dominoes standing next to each other.  We are all connected to each other.  Kindness matters.
