Friction

Learning to hold opposing ideas and contradictory beliefs in our minds and hearts creates friction.
This friction fuels wisdom, growth, and deeper understanding, opening us to a compassionate perspective toward both the micro (the individual) and the macro (the collective).

Humanity’s reluctance to cultivate this ability—to hold opposites within ourselves—leads to disruptions on a larger scale.
It results in narrow-mindedness and a lack of compassion for others.

The Leeches Beneath

They aren't the root nor the trunk,
Branches or leaves,
They are the leeches that live beneath.

They have strayed
From the collective belief.

They are not friend but foes,
They are the ones who need to go.

They don't believe in thee,
The one through whom the divine helps us see.
