Si in te non essent, non essent!!
St Augustin
A stormy electric day. Swords clashing
in the stark darkness of our partial knowledge.
Will against will
ignorance against ignorance
misunderstanding against misunderstanding.
Frightening shadows
fighting, in desperate fear
of their own distorted reflections
until, exhausted, we lay aside
steel and determination,
willpower, and the itch to be right,
until we are weak enough
to cease to resist,
to lie down in pain, and see
That there is nothing to fight but love
I found this poem very beautiful and very true, M. Should have noted it long ago rather than just thinking it... Very much wisdom to see that love is at the heart of it all. It just requires everyone to drop defences first and accept this fact - it is just that this just is a big just.
