Healing
If you feel hatred, feel the anger that powers it.
If you feel anger, feel the fear that motivates it.
If you feel fear, feel the pain that underlies it.
If you feel pain, heal the part of you that feels it.
Pain is the crucible in which all suffering is smelted
Extinguish the fires that bring pain to boil
And [...]
When our heart is broken
Or our soul walled off
First a smile
Then a laugh
These are the steps
Through which we rediscover
The step that is love
The healing step
The step which walks through walls
First a smile
Then a laugh
These steps are the healer’s first business
(for Anna)
A gallery of images to illustrate a couplet from the poem, The wisdom of loving brilliance
This poem began with just the first line and the idea that being a spiritual being comes down to ‘bridging the gaps’ between body, mind and soul. As three became one, One grew into a paean to the ongoing global spiritual awakening.
