The Balance
Graeme Edge/Ray Thomas
1970


After he had journeyed and his feet were sore, and he was tired. And he came upon an orange grove and he rested. And he lay in the cool. While he rested, he took to himself an orange and tasted it. And it was good. And he felt the Earth to his spine and he asked. And he saw the tree above him, and the stars, and the veins in the leaf, and the light, and the balance. And he saw ----- magnificent perfection. Whereon, he thought of himself in balance. And he knew he was. Just open your eyes and realize the way it's always been. Just open your mind and you will find the way it's always been. Just open your heart and let it start. And he thought of those he angered, for he was not a violent man. And he thought of those he hurt, for he was not a cruel man. And he thought of those he frightened, for he was not an evil man. And he understood. He understood himself. Upon this, he saw that when he was of anger, or knew hurt, felt fear; it was because he was not understanding. And he learned compassion. And with his eye, compassion. He saw his enemies, like unto himself. And he learned love. Then, he was answered. Just open your eyes and realize the way it's always been. Just open your mind and you will find the way it's always been. Just open your heart and let it start.
