Reblogged this on Teacher as Transformer and commented:
This is a beautiful haiku which suggests an enlightened self emerges from darkness. Part of my meditation is the reading of a short passage by Osho each morning along with prayers. Osho reminds me that hate cannot prosper where there is love. This message was echoed by Father Richard Rohr’s contemplative passage this morning.

Nicely crafted, Paul. To paraphrase Coleridge, “the right words in the right order.”
