Where

 

John A. Roof

 

I know where I was at.

I know how I was raised

I was taught to believe

I thought I did

I knew what was right

But I am proven wrong everyday

With age come wisdom

Then how can I be so dumb

To have lived without sin

Why then is my load so heavy?

Is there a book I can read?

Will the answer be in there?

I don’t know who is listening

But please wash your ears

For we human kind is lost

And don’t know where we are at

there are so many religious tellers that say,,you are a sinner. Who are they to tell? who are they to say? no matter how well we're doing, they'll always find some fault here or there. Dont listen to them if you think you're doing well,,,you most likely ...are!

nice write.

Such a state of confusion and pain that many people are in right now. We all have our questioning moments, but the best thing to do, is to close the book on the past, let it go, concentrate on living in the moment that you are "at". Don't worry about the future, just "be" at the moment right now, right here.

I always read "The Language of Letting Go" it is a book by an author Beattie, (can't remember her first name) a page a day and it really helps to focus on living in the moment.
Best wishes and peace and light and love your way,
Amber
