  • The Unencumbered Heart

    The Unencumbered Heart

    A refined love
    as pure as mountain air,
    unconcerned with gain or loss,
    unaffected by the whispers
    of the market
    or the balance of favors.

    It is a spark unfolding quietly
    in the soul’s hearth,
    like a fern reaching for light
    in a dark forest.
    The ego’s hard knot unwinds;
    fingers unclench their hold
    on what they once held dear,
    still surrendering to something more.

    We are a clear pane of glass,
    allowing kindness to pass through—
    unobstructed, pure.

    Like a river carving a new channel,
    it nudges us out of our small ways
    into unseen lands of empathy.

    A gentle teacher,
    it speaks of courage found in giving,
    of strength born from weakness,
    of a self reformed by what it gives,
    not by what it takes.

    It is the unseen hand
    placing us higher,
    one selfless act at a time,
    toward the glistening potential
    we barely knew existed.

  • When Balance Reveals

    When Balance Reveals

    When we are out of balance,
    We have no real choices,
    Yet we convince ourselves
    That we do.

    Freedom, trapped in a self-made illusion,
    Where only one path seems clear.

    We move in circles,
    Like a hamster on a wheel,
    Repeating the same known step,
    Again and again.

    But balance brings sight to the horizon,
    The taste of freedom on our lips
    And only then can we choose—
    Freely.

    Armed with wisdom,
    To guard against harm,
    And nurture the connections
    That bring us life.

  • Love and Hate

    Love and Hate

    The opposite of love
    Is harm.
    Love gives
    Life a meaning.
    Harm gives life
    The illusion of a meaning.

    Truth whispers,
    Lies shout.
    One nurtures the soul,
    The other depletes it.
    Authenticity blooms slowly,
    Deception wilts fast.

    Kindness ripples,
    Cruelty destroys.
    One throws bridges
    Over rivers,
    The other makes them
    Torches.
    Through empathy hearts
    Come together
    By indifference
    They move apart.

    Change is accepted
    By growth,
    While stagnation
    Fights it.
    One unlocks
    Better opportunities,
    While it locks
    All options.
    Curiosity
    Broadens horizons;
    Ignorance
    Abridges them.

    Forgiveness
    Gives freedom;
    Resentment
    Enslaves.
    One can heal scars
    While another widens them.
    Compassion enlightens
    But apathy darkens.

    In this theater,
    We direct
    Our own paths.
    Every move
    Is a stroke
    Towards life.
    Love encourages
    Various colors
    While harm
    Uses a single dark hue.
