Cease-Fire

Cease Fire

Not enough

Not worth love

All these words

Versions of violence

Self-perpetrated

Weapons and walls

Destruction and division

Waging war with my own heart

What a gift to know

That the cease-fire begins

With the very realization

That I don’t have to believe

Everything this mind

Thinks up

May every judging thought be tempered by wisdom and the greater truth of the life inside of this heart.  May the cease-fire hold strong, so that, even in the face of failure and adversity, it may respond with compassion and grace, and may this shift serve to awaken genuine understanding and awakening  that ripples out in ever widening circles to all hearts everywhere.
