Jesus said, Love your enemies.
From a hidden place,
unite with your enemies from the inside,
fill the inner void that makes them swell outwardly and fall
out of rhythm: instead of progressing, step by step,
they stop and start harshly,
out of time with you.
Bring yourself back into rhythm within.
Find the movement that mates with theirs—
like two lovers creating life from dust.
Do this work in secret, so they don’t know.
This kind of love creates it doesn’t emote.
-Neil Douglas-Klotz, Prayers of the Cosmos: Meditations on the Aramaic Words of Jesus
