Twenty Sixth Poetry Post: Haikus to Water

WATER TO LIVE BY

Depth of reflection
A call to be still, to know
Pond gazing below


Barefoot on a beach
Grounds us in nature’s beauty
Walking home in love


Rocks by flowing streams
Bring us a fluid healing
Letting go an art


Waterfalls help move
By cleansing souls with motion
Releasing it all


Deep sapphire lake
Ripples out the flow of life
Sit still and listen

"You cannot save people . . .

. . . you can only love them".  Anais Nim When we Love other people, their spirit and heart is uplifted.  By Loving others, heartfelt inspiration, healing energy, care, compassion and positive thinking are energetically sent to them already.  Their karma, their path, their health and well being is ultimately in the hands of a higher power and the timing associated with their life is for a higher purpose.  We can pray, speak and act lovingly and hope for the very best outcome, yet it isn't us who will save the person.  Loving people is ultimately what we can do and we can do it well.  Love is a giving force that resonates with even more Love.

World View Perspective: Given rise to what we hide

  The way the 'waves' (our initial parents) wave us in, we learn how to behave in current society.  We are taught many things about manners, how to dress, speak, react and respond and how to take care of our bodies.  We are taught how to keep ourselves safe, protected and how to interact with others.  As we learn and absorb many things, we also learn how to keep things and aspects of ourselves hidden.  Certain body functions, certain terms or phrases that are not acceptable, particular behaviors, in general, that are frowned on.  Our waves or initial caregivers, grandparents, extended family, friends, teachers, neighbors and co-workers can also add commentary about what is and isn't acceptable. Once we have collected all this information to apply out into the world, we have become skilled at what to do and not do in public. And, in that effort to hide certain things not to be aired in public, many secrets, disclosures, stuck old pain and hurts from the past...
