    There are days, like today, that I just have to keep the television off and the noise from the internet away. My heart aches when I see the pain humans cause one another. Don’t we know who we really are? Are we so attached to power that we abuse one another to feel more important, more powerful, than another person?

    WHERE DOES LOVE APPEAR WHEN THE BATTLEFIELDS ARE IN OUR MINDS?

    This world needs healing – and healers. They walk among us, unseen, incognito, hiding in plain sight. You may know one or a few. They are the silent ones, doing their work quietly, without publicity or fame.

    THEY ARE ORDINARY PEOPLE DOING EXTRAORDINARY THINGS BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND WHERE THEY COME FROM.

    I wrote this poem a while ago but never published it. The poem was in itself a silent one, waiting for the time when these words might provide solace and hope to a world run amuck. Look for the silent ones, they are standing beside you but you don’t yet see them. They are fully present in the light and darkness of life, without judgement, doing their profound work in whatever way they can.

    Blessings to you and to all for our healing and continued evolution, no matter how difficult.

    THE SILENT ONES

    Walk softly on the earth

    Between the spaces of our lives

    Leaving droplets of wisdom

    In a silent gaze

    That shifts everything

    The silent ones

    Lay no claim to goodness

    Do not seek fame or limelight

    Dissolve into the evening starlight

    Without a word or wave

    No need to say farewell

    The silent ones

    Change everything yet are unseen

    Pulse to the universal rhythm

    Outside of human drama and noise

    Dropping love petals in their path

    Gifts from another place

    The silent ones

    Need not speak, or sing or write

    A gaze, a silence, a tear

    Love without measure

    The language they speak

    For those few that can understand

    The silent ones

    Wait for the rising

    Pray for the dawn

    Hope for the awakening

    Patiently doing their work

    Unseen

    The silent ones…
