A Poem about pain

It is in our Divine Nature

to suffer with the suffering

Not because we are pain

Not because God is pain

Not because the pain is a path

But because as the black in the trunk who took

one whipping felt pain

Not because he deserved whipping

Not because there was medicine in pain

Not because God was in that gesture

But because it was not

He felt pain

It is our Divine Nature to feel pain in this world

Suffer with the suffering

And to free ourselves knowing

"This is not God"

And God is always with me

God is always in my reach

God teaches me to move beyond suffering

God guides the one who is hurt

Because pain is not a path

We feel the pain that it is to be away from the Path

And God is good, good,

Goodness without measure

Without a whip

But eternally present

Careful and as a friend.
