“Religion is for people who’re afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for those who’ve already been there.” Vine Deloria Jnr.
The One Called Love
Where the shadows shift slowly
and the wind whispers a language
of its own unknown to human ears,
and dust takes on a life of meaning
as it stirs and lifts,
the residue of centuries
residing in all the corners,
while in the quiet
a still small voice,
the one called love,
waiting to be heard.
