Carre-frontation

If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. ~ Matthew 18:15 (NIV)

My side of the street
is my business —
yours is not.
I am not responsible
for what you've done to me,
around me, despite me —
only for how I act,
my reactions,
my resentment,
my fears.
But what if I act not as me
but as a fellowship,
as a whole, for the good of all?
Can I then afford the luxury
of looking the other way?
