Poem Title:
Poem
Some choose religion as their sacred home for worship and prayer others choose spirituality, "it seats the noumenon of their soul " From very young I was introduced to religion, mom kept a chapel in the house we were taught to pray the rosary and be obedient according to bible laws I had a statue of Mary that I kept on my dresser and from a young age she spoke to me and encouraged me to live despite the pain I was experiencing at such a young age... Later in life when I reached my thirties I went through a crisis, during the darkest nights of my soul I found the philosophy of Buddhism both comforting and altruistic to my nature. I learned from monks how to go within Today at the age of sixty two I realize that both were gifts One taught me discipline and introduced me to Mystical experiences the other helped to re-discover the child within and heal the broken parts of me ... Today I work as a healer and I do my part to help others heal It is all about love and compassion and how we choose to express our FAITH Religion and Spirituality, I believe I was blessed to be able to embrace both equally without feeling that one threatened the other.
