In Witness Mode

events precipitated
creating a ripple
causing space to sigh

discord replaced harmony
a fissure appeared
requiring healing

specious reasoning
presented by eristic ego
stifled the throb of love

the drama being enacted
impacted not the mindful monk
who never predicts outcomes

who can tell if it is time
to gentle the swaying pendulum
the hermit has no preference

The hermit has no preference. Yes! What a deep line and such a thought provoking and profound write this is, a mindful monk would not be moved by white noise. So well said and delivered! I love your intriguing and soulful writes always seeker! Sending you light today and always
