A Meditation ~ #WWUC @NWCreativeUnion

Be still
If you hope to hear heaven
there is no other way.

Yet, here and now
there is no greater nemesis
than silence.

Our voices
the only legal (for now) weapons
we get to use

against hate, oppression, poverty

How are we to detach
get still
get quiet

How are we to rise above suffering
when the greatest parts
of our divine body are left to bear our scars

We would rather raise our voices in prayer
and call it action
then to sit alone with ourselves

realizing
in our search for enlightenment
we are leaving our brothers behind.

Be still
listen
Can you not hear the pain?

Silence your grievances
make way for the truth
and in the stillness

remember.
