One of the most difficult realities for me to accept is,

“People believe what they want to believe”,

We pretty much all do.

We’re really not looking for what’s right or what’s true,

We seek more to justify our choices and confirm our view.

We join with others with whom we agree,

Self righteously avoiding to see differently.

Although there are those who think me wrong-

I just can’t deny it.

I will trust my own counsel if my heart just can’t buy it.

To travel unmarked roads, to breathe new air,

To see what has not been shown-

To discover what has always been there.

To travel through your own insanity,

To make peace with your pride and your vanity.

To forgive until the wisdom of forgiving is revealed,

To open until the final secret is unsealed.

To keep showing up when you are no longer sure why,

To know that your mind can get stuck,

But your heart can always fly.
