Jihad

i am a jihad*

I am on a spiritual quest

And I have no idea where this quest will lead

But if I let go of my ego

My pride

My vanity

My fears

My demons

Long enough

To let Compassion

Humility

Acceptance

Patience

Love

Lead the way

To suspend my judgement of all things; good and bad

Then maybe I have a chance at something great

Maybe

I can fulfill my hearts true greatest desire

To be back at one with God

With (my) divinity

of all of these things

It's the humility that is the hardest for me

Personally

But hey....

I'm game

Let's see how it goes

All aboard

The Peace Train (homage to Cat Stevens)
