Singularity

When I forgive my brothers and sisters
I don't ask them to join with me.
I only remind myself that we're already joined
but that I won't know this to be true
until I make all points of time 
in all dimensions of the universe
converge back to the single thought of separation
that has come and gone in a cosmic instant
for which I still haven't forgiven myself.

This is so beautiful. I see the whole of the universe within these words and it is so massive yet infinitismally small at the same time. Great work!

You said you thought you were batting about 40%, thats really good compared to others who aren't trying. You have to first learn that your are love, before you can be love in the world. And understand that whatever happens in the world doesn't change the fact that you are love. This will enforce your effert in the world. And set you free from the emnity of your natural mind, that will condemn you by accusing you when you fail in the world. If I can help you in any way just ask. Sincerely jm

From what I know of you, Yoni, it doesn't seem like there could be anything to forgive. Your poem illustrates a mature perspective that is rare. I'm lucky to call you my friend. Love, Carolyn

Jesus Christ's gospel is not completed until our hearts are motivated as you were to write this great poem. Bravo

Yoni, This is very deep and insightful as was your comment on my poem a "Simple Reed". (The allusion that nature is peaceful creates an emotional escape...the allusion of emotional balance.) Your poem, here speaks of already being joined. It makes me think of a human continum...vaguely like they teach in the Mormon Church that we and our ancestors and predecessors are all connected and must be. Or what??? Anyway, thanks for making me think 2x today. Keep writing, my friend. Lovingly, Dane
