It Works

What we find outside

Cannot heal what is inside.

Yet reversed, it works.

Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!

Hidden Peace

Not from books or songs or sights;

Not from incense, candlelight;

Not from vain, invented words;

Not by pistol, bomb, or sword;

Not from wealth or mansions tall;

No external thing at all

Can grant us lasting peace inside;

Inside’s where hidden peace abides.

Thank you for Reading! Be Blessed!

Inner Worship

The power is not in the form,

Though it does much meaning hold.

The altar is not what transforms,

Spirit cannot be controlled.

When there is found a seeking heart,

A soul pursuing the Real,

None can the truly Sacred thwart

Or the inward treasure steal.

Daily Sanctuary

My temple’s within.

A cathedral of the heart,

Space no one can take.

Complete

Physical movement

Is of the most benefit

With stillness within.

Seek Not

I try so hard

To find “The Way,”

Pursuing each and every day.

Oh, how I’ve sought,

But all for naught,

The Path was always here to stay.
