Spiritual Journey

The way of spirit is a journey.
It has started long before you were born.
It will end long after you are dead.

It is always with you, always within you,
Unique and special, the you within the you,
The binding of me, myself and I.

How can you have existed before you existed?
What manner of fetish is this?

How can you exist after you cease existing?
What manner of nonsense is this?

This is not a theology….but a practice.

Be with your spirit on its journey.
It will not leave you behind, aware only of your whims, knowing only your biography.
It will carry you back, carry you forward
On the endless spiral of its way.

Have you not lighted here, now, in this time and place,
On this very Earth, with this body, this family,
This heritage, this color and gender, this language,
This spirit?
