Failure To Heal

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

To whom goes the blame

for unassuming flowers

crushed beneath indifferent heels?

~

Neither casting blame 

or indifference heals a

 flower or anything else.

Gardening

How do we learn what

to hold onto and when it

is time to let go?

~

Tender young seedlings

will wither and expire

when clutched too firmly in hand.

Finders Keepers

When regarding trees,

and thus missing the forest,

who will find the mushrooms there?

~

Those whose vision is

both deep and broad will find

mushrooms, forest, and the trees.

Unpleasant Zen

What is the secret

 to happiness and how do

you discover it?

~

Embrace the sorrow

and cherish the agony,

for they are the path to joy.

Human Limitations

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Must we continue

to just see duality

when we all are one people?

~

We humans can’t seem

to grasp non-duality

even about the divine.

Dancing Hosts

Regarding tipping

points, do you think we’ll 

tip in the right direction?

~

Teeter and totter,

balancing on that pin head,

can we not all be Angels?

Where The Accent Falls

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

What demarcation

separates family from friends

and isolates whole nations?

~

Accent on difference

separates us both from each

other and our better selves.

Face to Face

How can we keep from

losing heart in the face of

so much heartlessness?

~

Every heartlessness

requires those with a heart

to face it and stare it down.

Total Disconnect

When bandwidth becomes

the focus of agony,

is it time to cut the cord?

~

For us aged ones,

 understanding of bandwidths

and their agony have fled.

Finding Peace in Progress

How can we rest when

we fail to plant trees for our

grandchildren to rest beneath?

~

We’ll pave paradise

to build more tacky boxes

and rest beneath billboard shade.
