There Are No Shortcuts

When we are driven by greed and not need, heart is consumed by cravings of ego and although conscience continues to plead, demons of desire we’re loathe to forgo. If we but take time out and gentle thought, shifting inward our attention focus, we find we’re at peace, no longer fear fraught, ambling joyfully along love’s locus. Our soul becomes what we prioritise, so if God search is our quest, let fears rest and renounce desires as do sages wise, that we may be by caress divine blessed. There are no shortcuts; we must walk the talk ~ Choose love and light, oh hermit; do not balk
