It has been said... "All is a creation."
One day... in wonderment, I asked myself, "well then, who created
God?"
In search for the answer... I went on a journey... into the unknown
I ventured
First without and then within.
I went and asked...
Some Christians, and some Catholics, and some Jews, and some Muslims
And some Hindus, and some Sikhs, and some Punjabis...
And some Buddhists, and some Zoroastrians, and some Taoists, and
some Shinto's
And some Atheists, and some Agnostics, and some Aboriginals, and
some Eskimos
And ultimately in time... a small boy who was with his mom.
Each I found had an answer...
Honouring where each was at on their path - I thanked them.
For I had learned something from one and all.
My search for the answer... took me
from... here to there, and from... here to here.
Only to find myself - always to be departing and arriving...
And to be making new discoveries, both without and within.
Fueled by the desire to know... the unknown...
I used that which shone within me - to show me the way.
Before one can become a pioneer, they
first have to become an explorer and adventurer.
And everyone I met on my journey, was I found, to some degree, a
pioneer.
In time... I began to see others and myself, in a new way and in
a new light...
Spirituality... that life energy, which
flows; great or small, warm or cold, pure or impure...
And the essence of our being... is in us all. And there are...
Like the many different stars shining in the night sky, as many
spiritualities as there are people.
Like the universe - always expanding
and renewing itself...
So too, it is with knowledge, understanding, awareness, and love.
Knowledge leads to understanding, and understanding leads to love,
And love I found leads to more love...
I discovered too, where there is love - there are considerations
and possibilities.
And shining through... is what those who love do.
In this ever-changing world... we each,
have a place and a role to play in it.
I discovered too, that we are all on the same path... this path
called - life.
And that there are good, and not so good people, in all walks of
life.
Just as a bird, when ready, breaks
free of its shell (or through)...
I too, that day, metaphorically speaking - broke free from mine...
I became more than what I thought I could be...
And now find myself, relating to others in a more meaningful and
deeper way.
I liked the small boy's answer...
Incomprehensible as it may seem... the answer just may always be
- to those yet born.
That day ended... and a new one for
me - began.
