My Armor
Having watched too many reruns
of the insurrection on our Capitol building
I am overwhelmed with images of
the violence and the armor
and the battle of ideologies
being fought out before me.
Then I sat and realized that I too must
clothe myself in my own armor daily.
My armor, however, is compassion and understanding.
Every day I too fight.
I do not fight against people.
Rather I fight negative ideas
which try to invade my spirit.
I fight against any desire to invade the lives and destinies of others
by disrespecting them and telling them what to do.
I fight the desire to dominate
even if it is a conversation.
I fight the desire to forget, even if it is just for one moment,
that we have all been exposed to mistruths.
We have all been exposed to big lies,
even if those lies are different.
May I remember to dress myself each day,
in my armor which enables me to be
compassionate and understanding
of myself and of humanity.
