Religious & Spiritual

Photo by Jennie Roberts Jenkins

At its – and our – best,
religion is a community and
a window through which
people glimpse, desire, and
pursue spiritual journey.

The true test of religion's
cultural component comes when,
at ever-changing locations
on a spiritual path,

we are challenged to continue
gathering with people
who both reside in and travel  
to a place named Other.

It is here the Kenyan
proverb speaks her truth:
"If you want to go fast,
go alone. If you want
to go far, go together."

  1. Go with God when you must go fast and when you have the right community to go together. I love this poem.
