Healing Medicine

Jamál (Beauty), 4 ‘Aẓamat (Grandeur) 175 B.E. - Sunday, May 20, 2018

“Grieve not at what hath befallen thee, but put thy whole trust in God, the Almighty, the All-Knowing, the Wise.”
Baha’u’llah1

Healing Medicine2

I turn on the news,
I see
hate and fear flowing free.

I weep for humanity,
the progeny of Adam,
who do not appear to see
their commonality.

They have divided themselves artificially:
by color,
creed,
nationality,
etc.

I have lost their trust in the Almighty,
and divided the All-Knowing Creator
by names,
attributes,
etc.

The medicine
to heal their disease,
is unity:
the ability to see humanity,
         as a single species,
God,
         as a single essence,
and religion,
         as a progressive
                   revealed through Divine Messengers.
