Your Neighbor, Yourself

When you lift
the hood
on humanity,
you may wish
to close it
fast,
sometimes you
recognize yourself,
but it may not
always last.

In this life
there are comparisons,
judgements,
preferences for this
or that,
but not too far
beyond the story,
is All not You
as You Are That?

Is not Humility
an equalizer,
combining with Love
for you to see,
it is not who is
good or “better”,
All Are One
in the Eyes
of Humility.

Glean the lessons
from all experiences,
are there not opportunities
at every turn,
not to change another’s
mind,
but to look inside
at what there is
to learn.

When you turn
your pointed finger
and point it squarely
back at you,
yes, when you see
and Love your neighbor,
are you not extending
Love to you?

It need not mean
you do not have
preferences,
or causes that you
believe,
but might life unfold
a bit more smoothly,
when brothers and sisters
are who you see?

When you Love your
neighbor,
are you not loving
All parts of You?
Source resides in
All That Is,
the Power of Love
breathes All of You.
