GLOW-ER

GLOW-ER

.

.


We don't want to stoke the smoldering fires 


Of resentment


In the hearts of those already unhappy with us


We might not ever be able to be harmoniously reconciled


With the discontents


But we can refrain from fanning the flames


With the breath of our harsh words


Even if we think we are blowing on the fire to put it out


We can't


Because that red hot coal of the Life Force


Glows in each individual heart


It should never be diminshed by word or deed


Because it is necessary and precious


The Spark of Life in a vast, cold, lifeless universe


A treasure 


Even if some irritated bad driver making a rude gesture


Does not at that moment look like the Divine Jewel


In the heart of the lotus.
