A Time To Seek

"There will not always be happiness in life..."

A Time to Seek

There will not always be happiness in life,
and despite what any yogi, guru, or spiritual master
might profess,
there will be times of stress, suffering, sadness,
and sorrow;
so it goes.

But there can be cultivated
a place of perfect peace
in the inward spaces
of the heart, mind, and spirit;
and so,
no matter how
the sky may storm
or the waters rage,
there will remain
a safe haven of shelter
to offer solace.

Seek always
the Kingdom of God found within,
and you just might begin
to understand
with deeper wisdom
how you are being delivered
everything you need
in each moment
to evolve.
