“The Big Boulder” by Wanda Mumm
like a stone
half as big
as a house
hate has mass
heavy held
in its place
weighting
body and soul
painful anchor
preventing
all progress
a life crushed
beneath its own
bitterness
never to feel
the sweet
freedom of
walking in
spry lightfoot
tolerance
finding new
joys of discovery
gleaning from
different opinions
and viewpoints
an ever more
complex complete
understanding
of man in
his teeming
diversity
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

Superb as ever. The hate begets desire for revenge an occasional curse in most on occasion yet indefensible though…food for thought is this poem.

I grew up being taught to “hate the sin, not the sinner” but I’m not sure I learned the lesson well

Seems to me ‘hate’ is a room in our psychological house we choose to enter; or not . . . It’s best antidote is mercy . . .

“Spry lightfoot tolerance”. If only people would be open to letting go of hate and test new waters.
