Bless the mischief makers
who bring us to our knees.
Whether boss, neighbor, mate,
child or stranger,
they hound
trip
bully
and manipulate us.
They steal our money,
energy and time.
But most of all the mischief makers
force us to fly into the flame
where we burn away
those parts of us
that they mirror.
Thus we live
in the full glory
of Love.

May mischief-makers of every form and fashion literally flock to my door so that I may (through “recognition is enough”) separate that which is real from that which is not! Wonderful timely imagery Lesley. Thank you.
That is true devotion, Bobby. Yes!
So timely also for issues with sisters.
Here in the moment the sun is out and it is snowing. Perfect reminder of the balance of of the balance of opposites from all of which we, with the gift of grace, may learn
Lovely comparison, Niki. I will carry that with me in our snowy day in Santa Fe.
Another incredible piece by you! I hope you have not writing these beautiful poems half as much as I enjoy reading and re reading them.
Namaste and enjoy your day!
Only the most humble of souls could come up with such a poem, Lesley. To burn away those parts that mirror us? Most would avoid ever looking into that mirror! Thank you for the beauty of the poetry, and thank you for the tip of the hat to RRRYB!
Delightful poem and it brought to mind the native american symbol of the Coyote Trickster, another of Kal’s manifestations in human lore.
Life is so much easier when one knows to expect and how to handle the “mischief makers,” with open armed loving acceptance and knowledge that my mind/ego is always up for exposure for purification in the flames of Love.
As my reading of late has been about birthing humility and being willing to be wrong, this is a perfectly timed piece.
Spot on. And Rudy’s photo is beautiful
