How can we live in harmony? (Thomas Aquinas)

  We Are Fields Before Each Other

How is it that they live for eons in such harmony --  
the billions of stars --  
When most men can barely go a minute  
without declaring war in their mind against  
someone they know.  
There are wars where no one marches  
with a flag,  
though that does not keep  
casualties from mounting.  
Our hearts irrigate this earth.  
We are fields before  
each other.  
How can we live in harmony?  
First we need to know  
we are all madly  
in love  
with the same   
God.  
--St. Thomas Aquinas
