 Guiding Experiences

 

When the worship hour

Comes upon a being of Earth,

Where do they look for guidance and

Extreme measures in solution?



Maybe, they turn to the Buddhist

Practices in mantras and mandalas

Or a nun's string of prayer beads,

Or a more natural experience

From the lands,

In Native American practices

where cultures identify with nature

And they hear the beat of the

Drums,

This repetition

Makes their spaces

Infinite

Opening their minds

To the systematic

Solutions buried inside them. --J. E. Cook (C) 2018

I have study religion and belief for 50 years. I learn. What make the person happy. This is okay. We need to believe in something. I do believe. Nature is part of religion. We need the gifts of nature to breathe, eat and live. Thank you Josie for sharing your wonderful words and the thoughts.
