An Imperial Panic - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins

One nation resists

An Imperial panic

One falls, one rises

© 2026 M.N. Hopkins

Note:  I wrote this poem a few days ago in the haiku style of poetry and published it for the first time today, the 29th of June, 2026.  The beauty of haiku is that it is open to interpretation and will take your mind sometimes to new places or ways of thought.

Rumi: My Name Is Love: I Lost Myself and Found You


Some wounds do not destroy the heart.They open it until only Love remains. “My Name Is Love” is a Rumi-inspired spiritual song about surrendering the false self, losing pride, passing through grief, and discovering that the broken heart can become a doorway to divine love. This piece reflects one of Rumi’s deepest teachings: the self we defend is often the very veil that keeps us from truth. When the ego falls, the soul does not disappear — it rises. What feels like breaking may become the place where mercy enters.


End This Cycle Of Terror - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

End this cycle of terror and come again to your senses and see others as co-creators and co-operators, rather than competitors for your imaginary values that you have placed upon the Earth's resources.

Trust In Your Own Talents And Abilities - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins


Trust in your own talents and abilities to make a better way not only for yourself, but for many others who inhabit a human form.  Guard against an inflated sense of ego.  
Be wise and trust in the good consul of your Self. Delight in the gifts of Spirit and be grateful that you will be able to make a difference in the lives of many.  Be kind and generous of Spirit.
