Beloved Partner of the Path
You may not care much for me;
yet I walk with you nonetheless
realizing the illusion
of our differences—
You may highlight faults
of my past, and that's okay—
mistakes are growth catalysts
We are not the same people
we were an hour ago. . .
if we've learned anything;
therefore, be gentle
with yourself, and others
despite the road they walk—
we're all merely stardust and ash
experiencing our way back home

It's a moral that I wish a lot more people would carry in their hearts

the gods and devils may be found in the details but we find ourselves in the big picture.
this is written in light...love it, needed to hear it.

Commonalities vastly outweigh differences, hence the constant onslaught of divide-and-rule by our Lords & Masters. The tapestry woven into everybody's minds would quietly re-start a better world -- just dreamin' -- but that's where it all begins. The title captures it all.

What's that symbol at the one o'clock position...?
Is that ... By God, it is ... It's the wheel of a pirate ship! [nonsense]
This is so true. Each person is an epiphany away from being radically different in the span of moments. To sit there and grind on them for actions made months or years ago is an invitation for summer school, because we haven't been paying attention to how little we've changed.
An easy to digest lesson from the planner by a great teacher who lives it by example --- and we don't even have to do any homework on it!
Visually ... and this would make for a good visual poem as well ...
"We are not the same people
we were an hour ago. . .
if we've learned anything;"
I like how this stanza plays into the clock aspect of the image ( despite the 13 positions ).
A+++

LOL! It is indeed a Pirate Ship [ Dharma ] Wheel compass which will steer you right around those rocky waters of life. :D
I love your summer school reference, because until we learn the lesson, the lesson will repeat itself until the pattern is broken. That is, indeed, summer school.
Thank you always for your love and support. 🙏☀❤

We’re not the same people we were an hour ago.
How very true. I often think about how much we actually do change. I think I’m of the opinion that we are constantly changing. Evolving. Always in motion. Or at least we should be. Well done, A.

Yep; I totally agree, Daisy. We should be, but sometimes the lesson is a toughie and has to be repeated until learned. Unfortunately, that can take lifetimes.
Thank you, Sweet friend. 🙏☀❤

Dear A,
“ mistakes are growth catalysts” they sure are. Provided I’m cognizant of them, this is such an astute statement. I really like the teaching message behind this write. It’s clean and unfettered.
I’m also taken by the picture. Is the tapestry itself a silkscreen of all the symbols? It’s very cool.
Lovely write. H🌷

The symbols are whatever you want them to be, literally! Whether tapestry or coffee mug! I was immediately taken with the image. :D

Sad when our differences come down to personal attacks. We are fortunate when we can look beyond opinion to see our commonality.
Beautiful poem and sentiments.

As a Nihilist I ask that we should just venture into each other's perspect now and again...just to ease the dogmatic tension we all build up over time. Just a powerful and profound poem A...love it my friend.

On the last day of the retreat an ageing hippie brought out some of the "good stuff" and four of us participated in a joint moment of cosmic consciousness...still recovering D 😉

Sages on pages. Wow, this is beautiful Ahavati. Along the way we forget our ultimate journey and focus on the small differences and mistakes, instead of embracing each other and learning and keeping on moving.
I love your wisdom on script and simplicity of it all
Much Love♥

You have really expressed and accentuated the true meaning of kindness and acceptance. We are all souls on earth and we will eventually pass into the next realm.
Beautiful work.

amid our spiritual pursuit, partners we meet and then we say goodbye, while we are on our journey back home.. where is the true love?

Re: Re. Beloved Partner of the Path

we sometimes forget about its importance or simply don't meet it? I don't know but this journey back home, and the partner of the path that sometimes has to take another turn... where is the one soul that will never leave our side?

Re: Re. Beloved Partner of the Path
Amid the comings and goings; and eternally. Love doesn't stop at death or goodbye. I'm kinda starting to get a new definition of 'True Love'. I am starting to believe it is everything that guides us to our destiny; every affair, every breakup, every moment shared with another person, every moment of solitude. It's difficult to explain because it's new on the horizon of my brain. . .
It's eternal in our sacred contracts with others. And not just people, but animals and nature too.
