Be Kind

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.”

                              Plato

We all have our inner battles

Sometimes we might well

Have cease fire with ourselves

But rarely an armistice

The war wages between what we want

What we need

Where we think we are

Who we think we are

But sometimes

As we settle into the quietness

And step away from the brain

We can watch the flow of thoughts

And not fuse

With all that which would assail us

And in that moment

Remember who we are

Sacred child

Beloved

Gifted

Forgiven

And then become

Sacred child

Loving

Gifting

Forgiving
