Focus on what is emerging
A reminder
I felt to share this piece that came to me initially in February of 2016, but has been playing in my mind today, reminding me that I don’t know what is happening, or why really. Things seem to happening very quickly in the “out there.” There is so much suffering, anger, rage, and pain. But there is also much more than that…much is emerging, and in that lies our greatest potential. Through what is emerging lies the possibility of wise choices, beauty, cooperation, and even peace. And so I cast my eyes a little above the noise of moment to focus on what is emerging.
FOCUS ON WHAT IS EMERGING Rising, crashing, blowing, burning that which I cherish that which I despise crumbling falling in under the weight of… I know not what I cough It’s hard to breathe Focus... on that which is emerging Hatred rips roars as fists pumped high bullets pumped into flesh words spewed like vomit across the ethers Focus… What is emerging? Hearts abandoned broken lives of human, plant, animal all on the block to be destroyed without recompense without remorse by those who inhabit greed lust power ancestral wounds destroying in the name of fear Focus… Is hatred emerging? No! Hatred is not what is emerging! Hatred has always been here with us ready to consume outrage confuse recruit destroy Focus… What is emerging? But! Help! It’s ugly out there I can’t see I don’t know what is emerging I only remember this did not turn out well before… mutual assured destruction civil war world war overt and covert war purges and death marches horrors of the past hover in our present awaiting repetition again and again and … Yet Focus… Look Love marches in the streets hearts breaking open minds yearning compassion stands in hate’s way singing… anguish, determination, and cooperation our humanity connects us in unlikely partnerships Focus… Not on what is broken not on what is breaking down not on what is destroyed nor on what is lost now nor even on what will certainly be lost too soon Do not be deceived Reach out traveler Remember… Focus… on what is emerging!
Thanks so much for this momentary shift in focus onto what we can hope for, rather than what is going on in this terrible moment.
We have to have the capacity to make this change away from the darkness of death cult that currently controls our political, and economic, system to one that breathes life in the light.
You made my heart leak out my eyes. Thanks for sharing
