This is the sort of post that puts me into a classic rant spiral.
Sometimes I write a song about it sometimes I respond with a very open hearted triggered hippie comment.
Anyway I was listening to a bit of The Judgement Detox by Gabby Bornstein.
The chapter I listened to was about removing judgement while looking for the light in everyone.
She cited a mantra inspired by Dr. Wayne Dyer “the light I see in you is all I see.” So then this poem happened:
I judge you for judging the way you do
When I practice empathy I try to see
The pain that drains you
Light hidden under a bushel of fear
You have a big stick in your eye
And it shapes all you see
Arm everyone with big sticks!
is there a possibility
That you might look internally
No that’s too hard you’d have to remove the stick first
It may have migrated to your butt at this point
I can’t wake a sleepwalker
Can’t argue with a smooth talker
Who has talked himself into these walls trapped inside trying to please a male pronoun-ed angry god he’s fashioned in his own image
We all carry light inside
And we can feel it shine so clearly
When we choose to break down judgements
Spirituality should be about vibrant transformation not a bland life insurance policy
I’m tired of making these same arguments again and again
Banging my head against a brick wall imaging the cognitive dissonance
And pain that people in articles might be feeling
I find myself reeling
Distraught by how many people I feel have missed the message
Of that which they claim to preach.
I suppose that’s the sort of thing I should just pray on.
I believe in your light
That’s hidden in your fight or flight
Your need to be right
It flows in my veins too
As I write rants and post them out
Into the void
But I believe in the light
And it grows the more you let love flow
The more you dial into a higher frequency
Higher power the more you connect
The more you examine your judgements
Break them down and find that
The golden rule applies to all
Not just those that agree with you
But I don’t know your story
What lead you to this place
What caused you to build these walls
I just wish you grace
A sense of light
An expansion of the mind
You might find it’s lighter there
Anyway your behavior is not a thing I can control so...
