SPIRITUALITY
By Joan Estelle High
©9-30-2004
Religions are partitions that separate one man from
another.
But spirituality is the glue that binds all men as brothers.
Once we learn the truth that there is not but one God above.
Don't matter what we call God's name,
He
is a God of Love.
He would gather us beneath his wings like a mother hen.
He who is our father, our creator, and hopefully our friend.
Sends His words to mankind both to wise men and to fools.
Like little facets of a diamond, or like some precious jewels.
Oh, to lay beneath a starry sky, or on a beaches golden strand.
To feel the Earth beneath you move as you melt into the land.
To hear the songs the planets sign, be a cloud or a bird on wing.
As you feel self becoming one with each and every living thing.
For at
the
time
the
Lord God created us, like a potter with a bowl.
He then blew His own
breath into us and we became a living soul.
So God has placed in each of us, a precious
bit of that divine spark.
Now every thing that lives on Earth has within this common mark.
So let true spirituality reign, may it always be our guiding light.
Religion points the way but spirituality gets us through the night.
Maybe we should put aside the doctrines made by the hand of man.
Then find the path to eternal truth that leads us to the promise
land.
