Reflections On Pulling Back From The News
Reflecting on this article, I wrote the following:
Organised Chaos
In a world that's been spinning,
From the very beginning,
No wonder we're confused
World leaders look bemused.
Slow down, we'll be standing on our head,
Speed up and we'll all be dead!
We have to keep on turning,
The politics keep churning.
But we can hold up the light,
With justice we can fight.
Start from looking inwards, the corners of your mind,
Gather all the goodness, that you're able, there to find,
Cast it to the people, first those near and dear,
Try to stop your actions being governed by the fear.
Then spread the net more widely,
To the communities around,
Let the loving radiance truly abound.
Our world is organised chaos,
And maybe that's ok!
If we remember, that every single day,
We do have the power of goodness to change,
Embrace the spinning
Turn with the tides,
Then maybe we'll all start to really change lives.
