One can be guided from within or without.
The former is what life is really about.
Some shut their eyes and call themselves blind,
Too fearful to challenge the darkness of doubt.
"What if I can't trust the strength of my mind?"
"If I open my eyes, what might I find?"
On a swaying rope bridge, you cling to the railing,
Clutching the beliefs that others opined.
"I am just a human, in danger of failing.
"Were there no ropes to guide me, I'd go toppling, flailing,"
Yet if you were to trust the force from within,
Wings would burst from your body, your conscience prevailing.
How did religion actually begin?
It began boldly and bravely, without terror of sin.
Love of all living beings was its true origin,
And we flew with exhileration, eyes wide open.
