On the Verge
On the verge of what, of what?
I’m game, I’m balanced on my feet,
ready to leap –
But the new world,
it’s not here yet.
In the old of my age I watch
the suffering, how
can it go on when
the weapons faucet
could be turned off in a minute.
I drink my tea,
they keep killing.
I sit by the lake.
they keep dying.
We are all older
than when it started.
but the wisdom, where?
The changing, where?
They keep killing,
they keep dying.
In the same family.
I am not a Jew
I am not a Palestinian
but I am in the family, we
in the same family
are watching, and trying
to stay human, to remain tender.
We trained to jump
to a new world, but changing
takes more
than leaping.
On the verge
of what? of what?

I understand. Truly frustrating and hard to keep feeling the grief so keenly. I think some of your questions will be answered at the end if new book. I’ll tell you when it’s out. Stay patient. It’s all going to be great in the end.

So beautifully and aptly summed up in this Now moment of how most of humanity is feeling. So difficult to be at the beginning of this Great Shift but a necessary phase for our awakening. Stay as positive as possible and envision the New Earth into being.
Much love,
