A Lesson of Great Beauty

A Lesson of Great Beauty

a lesson of great beauty was shared this oneness day
offered to a discussion about what’s keeping peace at bay
a suggestion was shared that the reason is exclusion
and small pockets of peace is a sort of illusion

to become a peaceful planet it will require inclusion
an understanding that all of us are part of the whole
and a picture was painted on how to achieve this
here is the model that all can implement as a goal

when a group or a sector gather together
setting parameters or boundaries around what they’ve believed
they purposely or automatically exclude some others
and even wanting peace, this will not be achieved

those who are excluded yet wanting to participate
have a way to do so by a much more effective means
seeing that they sit outside of that circle
they can encircle or ensphere it with a much larger memes

this is the way of inclusion
it is the solution
the way to peace
the way we can be

let us model it now
and start with our families
let us reach out to friends
with an intention that mends

let us take down the fences
the walls that divide us
let us share our divisions
those thoughts that divide

let us celebrate differences
and honour uniqueness
let us share from our hearts
this is how to survive

and let us revive
that dream of the future
peace on earth
and add
thru goodwill to all

A Pattern Emerges

A Pattern Emerges

chaos surrounds us, engulfing the whole
pulled to our still point, the hub of our soul
quietly waiting, observing the swirls
patiently knowing there’s a pattern that twirls

reading the patterns is the observer’s task
changes in direction can  so often mask
the overall emergence of a newness created
hearts conducting what our thoughts orchestrated

A Mountain to Climb

A Mountain to Climb

we stand around the periphery
of a mountain to climb
there are many pathways to get there
we don’t have to stand in line

there feels a sense of urgency
to climb to the peak
a desire, a pull, a knowingness
a common goal that we seek

we view this mountain differently
a perspective from where we stand
the path we choose to climb it
depends on the lay of the land

we’ve come prepared with all we need
to climb up to the peak
we know it’s there, shrouded in myst
the very thing we seek

even if we cannot see it
we know we must climb up
and any obstacles along the way
will be overcome
by giving others a hand up

encouraged by the distance climbed
we’ll sense when we’re almost there
and once we’re there it will be clear to see
the view we sought is who we be
a view held inside for us to bare
and from this place, this we share

our expansive view
our inner peace
a love that encompasses all
a recognition we’re all the same
in seeking to answer this sacred call
