My Quest for the Grail of Freedom
A lifetime journey of opportunities
Free from the shackles of the mind Free from the chains of bigotry Free from the handcuffs of hate Free from the fetters of exploitation
Free from restraint of Trading ideas of Love Free from the bonds Of family feuds Free from fearing What others may think
Free to forgive Perceived wrongs Free to retract the finger Pointing at the throng
Free to remember Not to forget The lessons Lest their absence linger In the City of Regret
Free to stand up For human rights Free to broadcast The planet’s plight
Free to speak the truth Free to be me Free to find my purpose
Tethered to Divinity
The journey begins in our hearts and minds, but we should then step out and be a voice for others. Walking the path of spiritual evolution does not prevent our speaking up against injustice.
“Not looking at what’s going on in the world is NOT transcendence — that’s denial; there’s nothing holy in complacency, nothing cool about cynicism. It’s a perverted idea of spirituality as a justification for disengagement — nothings gives us a pass on considering the suffering of other sentient beings.” — Marianne Williamson
As we awaken on our evolutionary journey, we reach a fork in the road. We have the freedom to choose which path to pursue.
One school of thought maintains that the world is an illusion and encourages the seeker to cultivate indifference to pain and suffering
In his research into spiritual awakening, Steve Taylor, PhD, says he found most awakened people are more altruistic and compassionate. They develop a universal outlook, a broader perspective than the confines of their personal problems.
I chose the latter route as I know you have.
In my writing, I donned a political panama yesterday, a spiritual sombrero today, and I may wear my funny fedora tomorrow.
I go where my heart and soul lead me.
