Don Hynes—Lens of One

Lens  of  One

Don Hynes   August 7, 2021

During times of spiritual darkness

the light is obscured,

the default toward judgement and enmity

intensifies in clouded understanding.

Light is the antidote but must be welcomed.

To relish the darkness is to deny the light,

and to deny the light is to intensify the disease.

The more judgement and enmity

the less space for the light to enter 

and a downward spiral intensifies.

For one who understands

an intercessory role emerges,

for to magnify the light within oneself,

one cell of the diseased body,

is to magnify the antidote in the body at large.

This silent service is the curing of illness

and ease of suffering through the lens of one.

It is the same with any singular act of charity,

the vibration extends from the one to the many,

and though unknown or unnoticed

each application of the antidote

tends the body toward healing and recovery.

The healing may be distant in time for the larger body

but for the one who knows the time is now.
