Love's Pathway

Rejection
An unspoken sneer
In his eyes appear
A smile curves my lip
As love gives a slip.

Dejection
Withdrawn into a cave forlorn
Timidly holding on to fate unborn
Amidst open spaces and silence
Leaning on unknown resilience.

Projection
I see what is not there
The whispers and words unfair
Scarred with unseen scar
Every sight, a mirage afar.

Hidden Truth

There are times when an event occurs and our brains suddenly remembers something that we didn’t know we remember.  Here is a story that I had heard from an elder. This was remembered as I read Teresa Silverthorn’s Blog – One Is Missing.  Thank you, Teresa for reminding me.  I am recollecting this from memory, so please bear with me as I narrate it.

A long time ago, when the earth was new and all of Nature lived in truth, Human beings were able to communicate with each other with their minds. They understood the language of every other creature that moved and the ones that never moved.  They could tell where to find food by smelling the air, they knew what the weather would be like by looking at the heavens.  They could go where they pleased in a blink of an eye. They didnt need a fire to keep warm.   But as time went by, they began to feel like they were the MOST special ones because they knew this.  They began to compete and compare their powers. Gradually they built pride. Arrogance followed Pride and with Arrogance, came in Obstinacy and conflict. With arrogance fully bloomed, they began to abuse the power they had to disenfranchise the other beings and each other.

Brahma the creator(according to the Hindu Trinity)decided it was time to hide this knowledge cause it was causing more harm than harmony.So, he ordered the messenger of Gods, Narada, to find a place where the Humans will never find it.  Narada, did his feasibility study and came back with this answer "Hide it in the human's hearts". Brahma looks at Narada, like as if he was insane... But Narada insists on it saying thats the safest place 'cause if the Humans did look in their hearts, they wouldnt abuse power to their own detriment.  Brahma agrees to do so and hides all the powerful knowledge deep in the human heart.  As the memory of that knowledge faded, humans began to use words to communicate, found it difficult to understand what the other creatures and the earth said. They never looked inside of themselves. As of today it still hasnt been accessed. It lies safe in our chest.
