Dispossession

 
a body on a table in middle of Gaza 

        shaft of golden light pierced apex

             from Heart Centre grew a beanstalk 

                onto which InnerChild ascended

saw white sails of boats in blue-green ocean

                     they took our homes away ~

Dear Ghairo, It feels like a collision of stark reality and mythic vision. I think that the body on the table anchors it in grief, but then you let light, growth, and ascent break through, almost as if imagination is refusing to surrender to devastation. Oh, that tension in the way hope rises even in dispossession, but never without the shadow of what’s been taken. Amen! Autumn Blessings, Dear Ghairo, Daniel

Aah Daniel, You are kind 2 read & offer insightful comment. As Counsellor U absolutely know that our shadows are always with us, waiting 2 be integrated. As for Hope, I align with view that it is an egoic longing based on previous experiences. In my own experience, devastation & dispossession were Soul curriculum choices. What is hard is when those 2 lessons reach blood ties, so that only tie is 2 Godhead. Shiver-Shake-no turning back when Individuation reaches this point, Blessings, Sir.
