The simple truth

Intermediate truths must do for now ~ Until God’s grace does not wisdom endow We are in distress and so seek solace ~ Clinging to a faith to garner God’s grace We look to the sky, thinking God’s out there ~ It’s a guessing game, of mind unaware Every ism worships a different God ~ Is not sun the life source, that leaves us awed Scriptures we believe in, bind and confine ~ Why not simply, with pulse of love align The path is simple: meld head with the heart ~ The truth is oneness: all one, none apart

I agree. Ever 'ism' worships a different God. I've always asked myself, "How can that be? Plus, scriptures, although meaningful, bind and confine me. I prefer the 'other path' of which you mention. I appreciate these insightful words, Sara

Thank you, Sara. As goes the old adage ~ More wars have been fought in the name of religion than any other cause. Religious fundamentalism insists ‘my way is the only way and my god is the only true god. How narrow this view is. Spirituality, on the other hand, is simple, operating from heart rather than head, relinquishing every imagined concept, truly surrendering, asking the universe to illuminate us.
