Israel

From the land that flies the heart on it’s flag?
Would David approve?
We are but one under the stars.

Anahata

As two triangles meet, friction.
Though unity they symbolize.

A meeting of polarities unified.
The higher and lower natures at equilibrium.
The divine and animal natures in balance.

Anahata

How many times must we repeat?
Victims of atrocities becoming perpetrators?
An eye for an eye is of the animal.

Aurelius was right:
“The best revenge is not to be like that.”

Evolution is a boon, however, conscious it must be.
To become divine instead of believing you already are.

The mother doesn’t kill it’s child because it hit her.

Life wisdom.

Does it not hurt?
Yes. It hurts.
Not to return the blow looks weak.
Ego doesn’t like it.
But when to do so means death,
Abstain

Life wisdom

To be this way, you must fall
Your identities must fall.
Until you embrace them all.
This is the most painful of all:

To stay open-hearted though broken-hearted.

Rumi was right:
“You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.”

Anahata

Author’s notes

Anahata: also known as the heart chakra in yogic tradition.
The star of David is mainly attributed to Jews but is originally derived from the seal of Salomon, a symbol known in Jewish and Islamic mysticism and western occultism. It transcends religion and symbolizes unity.
An eye for an eye: an idea that goes back at least as far as Babylonian Law.
Aurelius: a reference to the 2nd century roman emperor Marcus Aurelius and his journal notes “Meditations”
Rumi: the 13th century Sufi poet
