| Have you ever stood still and felt Posted: 6/14/2009 4:50:56 AM | This is one of my favorite poems when I was becoming a therapeutic Touch practitioner many years ago.,I still have a copy of of near my desk,hope you enjoy it, by Joni Pulido Have you ever stood still and felt An overwhelming tenderness A deep sorrow Watching the world as you know it Collapse in one great rubble?
Will you feel rage and hatred? Will you feel compassion and care? Will you think how you will make them pay? Will you think how you can help them heal?
When you greet fire with fire You make a gigantic ball Until its big enough to topple Everything on its way
Have you seen fire greet calm water And meet in tranquillity? The great fire quiets as its passed From one calming presence to another
I am not a great hero nor done any great deeds But this much I can be, a bearer of hope To let the pained souls know love is possible And maybe the great ball will quiet as its passed From one loving heart to another | |
