Does it matter much today?\n And what is something `sacred'? Is it black and white...or grey?\"\n These were the queries of a youngster, and gave me pause for\n thought;\n And as I rummaged through my mind, I found the words I sought.\n \"Spirituality is a relationship 'twixt the Universe and you,\n And how you behave will manifest, no matter what you do!\n \n It's a friendship with creation - with stones and plants and\n trees,\n With birds and deer and butterflies...and even bumblebees;\n It's knowing that the life you have, is found in them, as well;\n It's awareness that creation is found in every realm,\n And that all of it is sacred and all of it's divine!\n That means it's very special - and will be for all time!\n \n The answers to your questions are both black and white, and grey,\n As spirituality and sacredness depends on you...each day!\"\n I pondered well his queries as he slipped out the door,\n And wondered if I'd answered well - or if I should say more...\n But looking out the window, I saw him smile at me,\n And knew that I'd said plenty, as he reached out and hugged a\n tree!\n \n -Kalioppe-\n \n \n 2249","title":"Internet Book of Shadows: Spirituality","type":"page"}
