‘Heal’ gedicht
Deze keer geen product of idee, maar een treffend en visionair gedicht. Geschreven in de 19e eeuw, maar actueler dan ooit. ‘HEAL’ door Kathleen O’Meara (1839 –1888), een Iers – Franse dichteres. Een must-read tijdens deze Corona-pandemie.
Heal
And people stayed at home
And read books and listened to music
And rested and exercised
And they made art and played.
And they learned new ways to be
And stopped.
And they heard deeper
Someone meditated
Someone prayed
Someone danced
Someone met his own shadow
And people started to think differently
And people healed
And in the absence of people who lived
in ignorant ways
Dangerous, dangerous
Meaningless and heartless
Even the earth began to heal
And when the danger is over
And people met
They were sad for the death
And they made new choices
And dreamed of new visions
And created new ways of living
And they completely healed the earth
just as they were healed
Kathleen O’Meara
1839-1888.
