"Enlightenment is a journey each must take- be it in prayer or in meditation: and no one person will take the same journey."

Quote - by Constance

Religious and spiritual? Both are a pathless path, and each is compelling, powerful and fascinating; the way is twining but neither has any wrath, for me religion and spiritual as sisters captivating. What I read in the Bible scriptures gives me pause, when I meditate- oh, I flutter like a bird in my mind; but, I am open-minded for each has order and laws, with religion purpose I find- with spiritual I am twined. In my religious faith I will always be abiding, though other people may at times try to sway me; and on my spiritual journey I will ever be gliding, for my belief in both is strong and that is the key. Religious ritual has been drummed into me since a child, and I was taught about mindfulness at an early age; and all that religious doctrine is in my head filed, spiritual thought gives me wisdom to look at each page. I surrender to both for each connect me to God, and I need both for this pathless path I have chosen; the truth is every day I see my life and I am awed, for I am moving forward and never in one place frozen. ____________________ May 18, 2021 Poetry/Rhyme/The Pathless Path Copyright Protected, ID 05-1356-533-18 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, Religion or Spirituality sponsor, Unseeking Seeker, Judged 05/23/2021 Fourth Place
