What Do You See? – Willow Poetry

The empyrean realm,
that meeting of
divine and other,
the fundament of love
which transcends
the ache of power
for unity,
that debris
of history,
to a selfless
creative
oneness.

Uplifting. Reminded me of the lyrics from One Love by Bob Marley “One love, one heart
Let’s get together and feel all right” . If only to achieve unity…a hope for humanity.

Are there any notated points in history when peace, mindfulness and unity were the mode of the day? I believe I’ve heard, that history repeats itself. So maybe if we could point one out? Such beautiful words…

Thank you so much Violet. Yes, excellent point. Difficult to answer though, except there are individual moments, or slices to point to. I think of the Moorish invasion of the Iberian peninsula in 711 CE, that delivered harmony between Muslim, Jews and Christians with mutual hospitality and a flourishing of the arts and sciences till 1492. Imperfect – but Switzerland as a neutral, peaceful, country. MLK, Gandhi, Mandela, Tutu. Nothing enduring though, well, not yet 🙂

I’ve never heard of the Moorish Invasion is 711CE. Sounds like a substantial reign of peace. I’m going to research it immediately. Thank you so much for sharing this little ray of hope.

I think there are others as you suggest, but it’s finding them, but also hoping for more sustainable ones in the future, keep hoping 🙂
