Harmony is the One Song of the Universe

My deepest love is peace and harmony. It sings to me as a universal one song. It is the one verse that repeats infinitem, we are one.

LEARNING TO LOVE AGAIN

What is learning?
But understanding not knowledge,
To see rather than re-call,
To get up again rather than fall down,
For this is the call of our true nature.

For 8 years I chose self understanding,
Not career,
I selected reflection of universal truths,
Not dogma,
I chose self isolation,
Rather than repeating mantras of the mainstream,
I am seeking the gentle pond,
Rather than fast streaming,
For time and space has no meaning,
When one is seeking truth.

The media, educational institutions and social norms,
Are the unquestioned pillars that uphold system failure,
Patterns of behaviours and rhetoric simply deepen the groove,
Rather than reinventing a new track,
In fact it is not a track but an elevator,
For we are evolving into a new reality,
That sees the whole rather than the sum of the parts.

To take long walks,
To switch off the tele-vision,
To move from insanity to sanity,
Is the spiral portal of clarity,
Allowing thoughts to rise and fall,
As peace is found as harmony.

In truth there is no peace only harmony,
For peace is a concept,
Harmony is a natural flow,
And this is not appeasement but understanding,
To observe brutal flotillas creating walls of opposition,
Denying freedom of speech the right to exist,
To allow peak oil to seep into oceans of ignorance,
As plastic bags are used for shopping at convenience stores,
To notice the truth is inconvenient when it opposes what we want,
And this is the cry of the child who will not be denied,
As knowledge is viewed as power,
And understanding a motherhood statement,
Where half the population is perceived as caregiver and caretaker,
And the other seen as care less.

As the noise and crackle dies down,
The flames of drama dwindle to embers,
For there is nothing to fuel the conflict,
I feel the pulse of endless life recycling warmth,
I look for the lesson not the lamenting,
I seek for the glow of my own truth not others,
I look for the embers of my kindness not the cruelty of the past,
I am seeking to go home alone,
And this is the heart of space not the destination of success,
It is living in the moment not climbing another mountain,
Life is not in getting there,
But to know one never left,
For life itself is the journey home,
And we are all on the same path,
Some will take the scenic route,
Others will look for rubble in ruins,
For the shards of misunderstanding turn into the mirror of self reflection,
For that is where the truth is found,
The rivers of separation will reach the head waters in the end,
For the many are one,
And life is the journey that love sends,
And love is who we are,
Fear is the nightmare that imagines the end,
As we awaken to a coming of age,
Without reasons,
For harmony is the one song of the uni-verse singing,
Love is the answer.
