Spirituality

Dorothy Morrison

"What is `spirituality'? Does it matter much today? And what is something `sacred'? Is it black and white...or grey?" These were the queries of a youngster, and gave me pause for thought;

And as I rummaged through my mind, I found the words I sought. "Spirituality is a relationship 'twixt the Universe and you, And how you behave will manifest, no matter what you do!

It's a friendship with creation - with stones and plants and trees, With birds and deer and butterflies...and even bumblebees; It's knowing that the life you have, is found in them, as well; It's awareness that creation is found in every realm, And that all of it is sacred and all of it's divine! That means it's very special - and will be for all time!

The answers to your questions are both black and white, and grey, As spirituality and sacredness depends on you...each day!" I pondered well his queries as he slipped out the door, And wondered if I'd answered well - or if I should say more... But looking out the window, I saw him smile at me, And knew that I'd said plenty, as he reached out and hugged a tree!
