Yesterday’s Truth

Posted on by under developing awareness, seeking the middle way, Uncategorized

Spirit tells me that

We are, He and I,

As the two sides of one coin,

With the only difference being

That my side is heavier, so that,

With any given toss, or dispute,

The chances of my winning over

His ideas are slimmer than slim.

 

But, He tells me, I should never

Not challenge Him, but just try

To put less wasted energy

Into the process.

 

Believe what I must, but only

As long as I must, and then

Let go without regret, for

The possibly lifetimes of energy

That I have poured into

Its defence.

 

Release it gently, He tells me,

And live today’s truth, that may,

Tomorrow, also be,

Yesterday’s truth.

 

Never back up or back away

Spirit tells me to

Never back up or back away

From those I care for, when

Their truth differs from my own, and

They seem to use anger as an argument

To defend it.

 

Spirit suggests that I practice

Stepping aside; a martial arts move

That allows one’ opponent

To advance without

Direct confrontation.

 

This would allow me, He tells me,

To witness their anger from

A safer perspective.

 

Anger is not an argument, but

Is sometimes used as

An alternative to one.

 

To step aside, in awareness,

Understanding and compassion,

While remaining at peace

With your own truth, and

Wishing peace of mind,

For the other.
