I don’t start by acting
I start by aligning

If nothing in me changes
I still decide
But only from habit

I call it testing
But I’m just choosing
What already fits

Without renewal
Testing is only choosing

Only a renewed mind
Can truly discern

I can speak
I can judge
I can react

But reaction multiplies
What I don’t want
To become

Only a renewed mind
Can truly discern

I don’t need to strike back
To stay whole

Some things don’t belong
In my hands

As far as it depends on me
I choose peace

Not silence
Not weakness
Alignment

Without renewal
Testing is only choosing

Only a renewed mind
Can truly discern

This is not belief
This is practice
