Doublethink Beliefs

I
am
who I
am because
I was born here, where...
where Christianity rooted
and thrives, by insisting it is the true religion.
It is almost impossible to break away from that early religious training.

I
find
myself
living in
another culture
where I accept a new truth taught
which helps me make my way through this new, strange future life.
I am happiest knowing that I am at peace with myself, with others, and with God. 

I
come
back now
to this life,
this state of being 
a happier person, knowing 
a peace that is common to all the world's great people
living, loving, and worshipping in peace with their own concepts of everlasting life.

Caren Krutsinger December 23, 2021 at 1:28 AM This one should be the first one at the finish line with a lei around its neck. L Milton Hankins December 23, 2021 at 8:13 AM Well, I don't know about that, Caren, but that's pretty much how I feel about it. Thanks for your thoughtful compliment.
