The world seems to be crumbling
alliances disappearing
the few grabbing power

the many paying the price
with their sweat
and blood.

Mind yells, “Charge into the fray,
change it all,
protect freedom!”

Soul knows differently.
It sees the true dictator
within.

Stoking fear in one’s heart,
it generates hate, separation…
Desperation!

Only one solution:
Rather than run out,
I run in.

Take hold of the Beloved’s hand,
feel that love lighting every cell
atom and quark.

This bliss is my True Country,
my World,
my Universe.

Where freedom reigns.
It is calm, powerful, sweet,
a breeze soaked with cherry blossoms.

A finch flitting on invisible waves,
A dolphin arching into the air.
In any moment I choose, this liberation is mine.

I become the freedom fighter,
living every moment in this calm tranquility
casting its love waves into the ethers.

So it may touch all in its subtle way:
the cashier at the grocery store,
the squirrel I brake for on the road,

my cat,
my friend
and even the child in that war-torn country.

No time
or space—
all connected.

The love flows abundantly
when I hold tightly
to the One!
