A friend and I are talking this morning and heias talking about praying daily. "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us". That turns into a discussion of enemies and ourselves. It's easier to have an external enemy identified than to deal with ourselves, isn't it? Here is today's poem.

Enemy
Do you have an enemy?
Do I have an enemy?
maybe I have no enemy I have people I have forgiven I have people who I have asked to forgive me I have people I have forgiven but keep distanced no reconciliation possible if they continue abuse blind and deaf saying "We are righteous!" over and over to each other
A book teaches me asks what are you most proud of in yourself? Three things: strong, smart, tough. The mirror is what you fear the most weak, foolish, vulnerable I shy back, hate the author and he is correct at least for me
Like the sutra sometimes I am weak sometimes I am foolish sometimes I am vulnerable
When there is a person or people I want to hate What aspect of myself of my past of my psyche are they bringing up? Are they stronger, smarter, tougher? Are they weaker, foolish, more vulnerable? Why do I want to hate them?
It's easier, I see to hate another person and cast them out like a demon then to look in the mirror and see the aspect of myself that I long so much to hate
That demon once cast out will return with seven more
Mirror mirror on the wall tell my why the angels fall
if an angel gets it's wings every time a bell rings each time we hate another, as well an angel falls heaven to hell
