Peace for the Soul

A common space for harmonic peacemakers

i have come into this world to see this:

      

      

I have come into this world to see this:   

the sword drop from men's  hands even at the height of their arc of anger  

because we have finally realized there is just one flesh to wound

and it is His - the Christ's, our Beloved's.

     

I have come into this world to see this: all creatures hold hands as we pass thru' this miraculous

existence we share on the way to even a greater being of soul,

a being of ecstatic light, forever entwined and at play with Him.

      

I have come into this world to hear this:

     

every song the earth has sung since it was conceived in the divine's womb and began spinning from His wish,

    

every song by wing and fin and hoof, every song by hill and field and tree and woman and child,

every song of stream and rock,

every song of tool and lyre and flute,

every song of gold and emerald and fire,

every song the heart should cry with magnificent dignity to know itself as God:

                          

for all other knowledge will leave us again in want and aching.....

only imbibing the glorious Sun will complete us.

   

I have come into this world to experience this:

   

men so true to love they would rather die before speaking an unkind word.

men so true their lives are His covenant.... the promise of hope.

   

I have come into this world to see this:

the sword drop from men's hands even at the height of their arc of rage

   

because we have finally realized there is just one flesh we can wound.
