An expression of peace
a poem by @philosopherbonnie
We each play the game of life,
Reality, this shared delusion -
By our own rules.
We come by these rules,
By our own process
Of evaluating
Our environment.
We walk this wet rock
Together,
Not knowing this.
We think there are rules
To follow,
Or not follow -
We don’t see we m
Made this up.
We don’t act like we know,
Really know,
That each of us has different
Expectations of
How the world works.
This causes our problems.
Knowing we play by unique,
Unknowable to others rules -
Allows compassion
Allows empathy.
Allows curiosity,
Understanding -
Peace.
An expression of peace
Is a united understanding
Of how to play -
But it is unnecessary for peace.
Allowing room for unique
Understanding is enough.
Peace is accessible
Through the disillusion
Of the illusion
Of separateness.
