Demonstrable Force vs Subtle Assertion

That the biggest, strongest, wealthiest, noisiest get the most attention and achieve the fastest change is commonly accepted.  However, those particular changes either don’t last, or need to be repeatedly imposed with demonstrable force.

Ideas that have proven to illustrate the most longevity, however, are asserted with subtlety and grace.  The funny thing here is that we are conditioned to respond to these spectral anomalies in ways that oppose the productive.  Although patience is ostensibly promoted, what we see is constant conflict and a lack of anything resembling grace.  (think political campaign, corporate tyranny, evangelical imposition, etc.)

As I attempt to practice a new thought process centered in my intimate connectedness with all of creation, my impatience with force continuously rears it’s ugly head, and my habitual inclination to respond with like force as well.

Tolerance and forgiveness are important here, but not imperative.  They are still middlemen.  Love itself is by far more powerful, and to love without conditions most powerful.  Omnipotent.  No demonstrable force can have any effect whatsoever where unconditional love abides.

And unconditional love abides everywhere.
