What is power, really?
Is it money? Marketshare?
Positions? Possessions?
Square footage? Is it awards?
Books of business? Client lists?

Is power, then,
about control over others?
Over laws?
Over outcomes?

If this is power,
then can we reset the field?

We could turn
power into positives
to heal, to solve, to protect
to lift up, to light the way
and weave us together.
