The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – ahimsa.
Ahimsa speaks without a shout
It walks with open arms
It heals the cracks in human hearts
And helps us find our calm.
Not every victory needs a sword
Not every truth must strike
The quiet hand that chooses peace
Can change what hate is like.
No sword can plant a field with grain
No rage can make hearts bloom
But peace, like rain on thirsty earth
Can turn despair to boon.
The bird, the tree, the river’s song
All breathe the same space air
To hurt another living soul
Is to wound the world we share.
When anger storms across the mind
And pride begins to rise
Ahimsa lights a little lamp
That softens hardened eyes.
Ahimsa is the patient breeze
That cools the burning land
Belief and courage more powerful
Than armies can command.
The warrior of Ahimsa knows
That hatred breeds more hate
But, love joined with fearless faith
Can alter even fate.
Ahimsa whispers through the ages
No heart is won by fear
And those who walk its destined path
Bring hopes and dreams so near.
