When hatred, horror, and cruelty

set the world ablaze,

the mystic knows society’s fires

simply mirror the narrative

of a few angry males,

like two drunks fighting outside a bar

over grievances long forgotten.

Humanity begs for another

kind of response.

Consider…

Walt Whitman,

acting from sacred perception,

devoted his mysticism to nursing Civil War soldiers

in hospitals and battlefields

all the while knowing he had no control over

the outcome of humanity’s latest nightmare.

Psychologist Victor Frankl,

imprisoned in a concentration camp,

with love and attention his only resources,

provided comfort and hope to others

by finding meaning in love.

Here’s my prayer…

May we merge

mystical consciousness with

God-as-Creation

and love

as Creation loves

by healing wounds with tender new growth.

May we offer

love-as-action

until the terrible cost of violence

brings people to their knees and

 humanity wakes up.
