Beyond right and wrong

Whether you are a fan of poetry or not, like an art piece, sometimes it has a way of speaking to us on a nonverbal level. When we're caught up in our judgments of self and others...ponder this one for a moment by one of my favorite wisdom teachers...

 
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field.  I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn't make any sense.
