soul searching
purpose working

once upon a rhyme
a friend named Trina and I wrote
it's still true in this space
and time although some
things have changed
the life of a soul with a 
spirit in a body from 
soul to radiant 
and whatever else is 
believed to be within
and without; I search 
for the meaning of that
whicih I cannot see and
that which I can see 
I have been fooled by
appearances this is a 
notoriously promoted
'don't' on the universal 
spiritual list

in the year 2000, 
I sat down with journal
and pen everyday for 
six days I asked questions
and God gave answers
I knew nothing of a 
Neale Donald Walsh
but at my desk in my
bedroom I had my own
conversations with God
and it wasn't as hard as
I thought it would be
I wasn't new age or new
thought savvy and
I had know idea that
perhaps what I was 
doing according to 
some was completely
wrong I had questions
and I wanted answers

my favorite exchange
was a question about one
correct religion or path
to connect with God
I was given an answer
in numbers; let's just
say the destination is
the number six. write down
how many ways you know
off the top of your head
to get to the number six
I came up with fourteen
equations. and I knew there
more that would take time
to calculate and contemplate
so many ways to one goal
and could I say any of 
them were wrong? no.
there's the answer
and I was satisfied and
yet I know there are folks
who would treat people
like outcasts, argue in large
groups or just a few people 
any and everywhere or kill
to make the point there's
only one way to God

I've read about many religions
including the one in which I was
raised Christian....the history
behind it all is astounding
but oddly enough, not surprising

finding soul through religion
and spiritual practice taught
me something profound -- it's
with me all the time, it was
a matter of finding its purpose
a path already in motion
before I uttered a prayer
but the need for labels, 
phrases, terminology, 
and specific concepts 
can muddy a surprisingly
clear view when I was 
not so overwhelmed 
by the "Am I getting it 
right?" syndrome and 
I need confirmation
over and over again

it had to stop
and it did
