Awakening

PeacePole1


It begins with the love
of living creatures
for their own lives.

Then the love
of mothers & fathers
for their children.

Then the tribal chieftain
who loves the people
as if they were family.

Then the holy sage
who loves each person
as if they were the self.

It ends with the world server
who loves every one of us
as if we were a single being.

The awakening of humanity
is an expansion of identity.

Let our hearts be great.
Great enough to embrace
the whole of our very self.
Great enough to befriend
the unity of all beings.
Let our hearts be great.
Great enough not to
abandon even one of us.
Great enough not to
betray any part of us.

Let our hearts be great.

The awakening of humanity
is a universal consciousness.
