The concepts of the ancients and the stories that we have been told,
do not always carry conviction, or may conflict with what we know;
seem full of potholes in the proclaimed and painted pathway.

Perhaps there are approaches to divinity that may seem more practical,
maybe there are ideas that seem more credible or trustworthy;
more appropriate for the world as we know it.

..Beyond our present existence may lie a place of glory
where humanity becomes what it could really be.
Sometimes we can taste its distant scent
feel its aroma, touch its absent presence.
a shadow, spirit, hope,
in which we trust.
