Beliefs

image
It's not that she switched over
It's not that she changed
It was that she found her way

Her journey began at childhood
With the beliefs that were instilled in her
With the beliefs that lead her to learn more

And with that more she did't question
but came to a realization
That which she thought was no longer true for her

The Christian teachings she thought to be
Were no longer for her
Not because she didn't believe
But because she was wanted to be free

In the Maccabees she learned of the battle fought
to let go of all things that did not pertain to God
those idols that some held on to
were no longer for her

Her belief in life that God alone is her path
lead to her to Judaism
Not because she didn't believe in Jesus
No it's not that
It's that she believed that in order to be saved
all you need is God

You need not pray to anyone else but God
This came to be her belief
and not in anything else
because God alone has power over her

Whatever may be in tartarus may be
But to her
it's only One that she can believe in
This is where she found her peace

In accepting that everyone has a different path
everyone will have a different belief
and it is not at all bad
because all are God's children
and all are to coexist in tolerance and love

She found her spiritual growth in the God of Jerusalem
But that doesn't mean one cannot find Him in Allah
In the New Testament with Jesus
In the words of Confucius or even Vatsayana 
She won't know knock it
But she already knows
that she doesn't have to try it

Wherever you look
He is there
Waiting to welcome you in
And hoping that you are just as accepting
of everyone else
as He is of you

Love is Needed

This past summer
A young girl by the name of Karina Vetrano
was found lifeless on the ground, hidden among
the sides of Howard Beach in Queens NY

This happened in August of 2016
6 months later, we are informed that
the person who out right tortured her before
killing her is a 20 year old man

This man claims that he was angry
because there were too many people at his
house, that he apparently didn't want there
Who knows what else was going

He was angry and unfortunately
took it out on Karina

This scares me because Karina
was going out for a run
it was about 5 in the afternoon
she was alone
and it was broad daylight

This can happen to anyone
And it also saddens me
that someone can be so angry
to do something so heinous

What is going on with the world?
Why have human beings lost a sense of love?
Where is the compassion?
Why are we becoming less human?

Be kind
And when you feel that you need to
Step back, take a moment
And breathe
Exhale anger
Inhale Love
Inhale patience

Let peace be your Zen
