The Harmony Of Our True Nature

I have my challenges with family. All are beautiful in their own right but I am learning that lack of self worth is at the centre of conflict. The healthy family is one that generates harmony in thought, word and action. My step father says he has made a commitment to harmony. I really liked that it was conscious for him. He is often the one that remains silent when the conflict is there. I must reflect deeper on that. Here is a poem to bring harmony to you. One day this will be the norm.

HARMONY OF TRUE NATURE

Compassion
Is the mother of pearl,
Shimmering beyond the hard shell.

Cooperation is the harmony of shared interest,
That seeks to work together,
For the greater good.

Kindness is an unspoken warmth,
That gives to another,
Without seeking return,
For even as life is cruel,
And hearts are cold,
The eyes are soft and caring,
For they always see the truth beyond actions.

Peace is the friendship that wants to know you,
That sees all as brothers and sisters,
A family of diversity,
Yet related in a desire to live in acceptance of difference,
For the benefit of all,
For the call of friendship,
Hears no criticism of you,
Sees no error with you,
Accepts you as you are,
For they see the friend-ship as the bridge of peace,
That finds the way to meet you in the middle,
To cuddle you when you are lost,
To find you when you feel tossed,
For a true friend is always present,
In the moment of your greatest need,
And this is the creed of a family crest,
That never waves when you leave.

Love is the reflection in the mirror,
That sees only beauty,
A recognition,
That you are the gift of life,
Above suspicion
Beyond belief,
Each thought a leaf that drops from the tree of your life,
To recycle life ideas and concepts,
To see which grows or is cast adrift,
For the love that floats
Flows with an inner course,
Finding the ocean of possibility.
Is the loving opportunity,
To share your beauty with the world,
For only those who love you will see you without fault,
And this is the salt of the earth,
That knows love is in the eye of the beholder,
Of truth.

May all roads lead back to happiness,
May all hearts unite,
May the world awaken from its state of separation,
To find life as the preparation,
For the final journey home,
As the veil lifts of lies and misconceptions,
As the song is learned from its inception,
That harmony is the true nature of our heart,
And it is the beat,
That only true love can follow.

Mohandas Gandhi
