the progress of the soul

tea for this profound journey

spirituality in the road to unharbored grace

leading out to enrich everything

hate shrinks our souls

if allowed to proceed

joy sheds light across any kind of darkness

there is in man's heart

fear

grief

jealousy

hate

indifference

distrust

all can be conquered

real love makes joy

abundantly in the self

if one merely hears

and never listens

he misses so many important

life points made

by the shear living of it alone

and nothing beats the wisdom of aging

and experience

wrinkles and gray hair

be damned

they are only creases in the map of the

body

its just a shell

a vehicle

to get our souls from point A to point B

as best as I can sum it all up

allow me to borrow a line my grandma used

to use

make hay while the sun is still shining

and then again

to get away from such a trite adage

enjoy this amazing life you've been given

stop fearing its end

or putting it off

Geez

for just once

breath for your lungs

see how it feels

instead of just your lungs doing all the

breathing for you

you may not see it now

but there is a subtle difference

when you find that

life will

make so much more sense

to you...................
