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…

Most people are in a deep sleep @aliciarodriguez. The best way forward is for those who are ‘awake’ to hold the space of love, light, oneness, unity and peace. One by one we shall prevail! I recommend reading the post today by @elizabethkipp in which Rumi beautifully addresses ‘waking’ up. 🙂
Thanks Debra. I’ll read that post now.
Your poem is beautiful @aliciarodriguez – thank you for sharing!
Love your poem and completely agree. I believe more are awakening, and those that are, find us to help them when they are ready. May more and more humans become ready to help us lift the entire of Humanity into a place of Love.
Thank you Heather. I so agree.
