The Spiritual Quest

It is oft times difficult to unlearn what we have been taught

The demons of the past have taken shelter deep within us

And we wonder at the fact that there is so much pain in the world

Due to the condition of our spirits, we are not at peace with ourselves

We have a tendency to look at things from a dismal perspective

Just think of where that kind of thinking has taken us in the past

Perhaps a new way of living is required

Where we may find at least some peace or serenity

God does not always come to us like a blinding flash of light

He is most often much more subtle

Spirituality is a seed He plants in us

All that is required is that we keep an open mind

Trust in those who have achieved what we want to obtain

The seed will then grow and God can take his place in our hearts
