Begone Enchanting Hatred
BEGONE ENCHANTING HATRED
Inner exploration
Of whatever hatred
Arises within us
Is the only way out
With terror confronted
(Oz’s humbug wizard)
False images dissolve
Love is reunited

It’s that old “confront the demon” theme we were discussing a few weeks back again.

Yes, I recognized it. 🙂 A reoccurring theme that doesn’t get old, as it’s always changing form, modus operandi. It’s good to maintain our awareness of it – thank you Ben, for reminding us of that.

A self-reminder as much as anything I’m afraid, Betty.

It’s that fantasy desire of everyone loving each other for who they are, and if they don’t like someone, they turn the other cheek – thus, avoiding acting from hatred. Great poem, Ben. We can still hope for this…
