Six word Friday- Might


"Great or impressive power or strength."
What mighty love a mother holds,
for her children, for all children.
If only that love could rule
our world, can you even imagine?
All would be fed, have homes.
The sick would be cared for.
Safety for all would be priority.
Tolerance and kindness would be taught.
Our best mothering heart shining through,
the might of our love heals.

"Expressing a possibility, based on condition."
Might we treat each other with
the unconditional love reserved for children?
After all we are all growing.
Might we treat each other compassionately?
We are all fighting  some battle.
Might we look through the externals
(jobs, diets, style, houses, paychecks, popularity)
and see right to the heart?
Our core is good, is love.
We hurt and we grasp and
then we project and we reflect
and compare and judge and decide.
It's easier to point the finger,
and ignore our own core hurts.
Might we nurture ourselves and others?
Give the benefit of the doubt?
Let's treat one another as angels,
guiding us closer to the Source,
bringing lessons of love and forgiveness,
letting go and looking inside ourselves.
Might we be a light shining 
unto the darkness of our humanity.

Oh you might be right! Actually you are right.

Seeing to someone's heart is so important but at times difficult to do especially if they have hurt yours.

When dealing with my ex, I sometimes remind myself to see him the way the kids see him, with nothing less than love and adoration.

A beautiful post!

I started to pull out phrases that touched me, but there were just too many. All I can say is yes. So much yes.

A return to a matriarchy certainly seems worth a try!
