perhaps charity

is a lesson in humility 

 

as we find times

it is necessary to become receptive

 

Perhaps humility 

is the key to unlock

your suffering

 

Do not think of it

as humiliation

 

humiliation is a loss of self respect

humility is a disposition

This is one of the most

This is one of the most spiritually profound---let me say it again, MOST SPIRITUALLY PROFOUND---poems ever posted on this site.  And how, a logician might ask, can I say that . . . since admittedly I have not read all the poems that this site has presented since inception?  My answer:  I only need to read this poem, the tremendous spiritual quality of this poem, to make such an assertion.


I have to make some changes in my own pages on this site; and, though I have been resistant, the appearance of this poem on this night has spoken to me most encouragingly regarding these changes.  Pride has prevented me from making them; pride which misinterprets humility as humilitation, as the poem demonstrates; but in this season of Great Lent, humility is called for most needfully.


I can applaud this poem for its beauty; but I thank you for this poem for its content and profound wisdom.  Thank you for posting it.
