A Humble Path Past Conflict

Part of living a life with more gratitude might include less fight and conflict and greater humility.  Poem #2 for this season of thankfulness:

A Humble Path Past Conflict
by Michael Romani

With gratitude not as demanding
Toward the God of my understanding
I seek to live more humbly
Than in my prideful theology

Having stumbled into openness
I have found a bit of somethingness
That has formed more into relationship
Than into form or ritual worship

It's crucial that we learn to communicate
And find peace in how we share and relate
So much of this can be seen in an angle
The power of three supplies its own triangle

Finding that tiny spark of shared divinity
Invited in with all effort at humility
It's there in the need to find the reframe
Instead of the conflict of fixing blame

Getting past the pain of people, places and things
To lessen all the unbearable urges these bring
The either/or found in the constant polarization
Brought on by a tribal sense of alienation

Instead let's strive to arrive at a new destination
By giving our ears and hearts and eyes with fascination
Healing with grace and in grateful humility
Co-creative in this, let's begin to build unity

In this unity, we will begin to find our peace
Bringing this gain by our intentional release
Of all the many or few things we allow or reject
And through this, let's find our way past petty conflict
