The poems introduce the girls to other kinds of people of color, other worlds. To adventure, and kindness, and cruelty. Cruelty that we usually think we face alone, but we don't. We discover that by sharing with each other we find strength to go on. The poems are the play's first hint of the global misogyny that we women face.

Equanimity is a perfect, unshakable balance of mind, rooted in insight. But in its perfection and unshakable nature equanimity is not dull, heartless and frigid. Its perfection is not due to an emotional "emptiness", but to a "fullness" of understanding, to its being complete in itself. Its unshakable nature is not the immovability of a dead, cold stone, but the manifestation of the highest strength.

The true sadness of reality it's that it is forgotten that magic is everywhere. We buried it with worry and tedium because deep inside we all know it takes strength to wield a wand. It takes energy and belief to step back from the fog of reality and recognize the wonder in almost everything. You're resisting what is inevitable, and when you finally figure this all out things will be both heavier and more fantastic.

So I preached from Luke, chapter eighteen, verses one through eight: the parable of the importunate widow. It's one I've always liked.
