Travel Deep within Yourself

Travel deep inside yourself without

the baggage of conditioning.

Be an explorer, have patience

and eventually your true nature

will surface.

You will return from your journey

with fresh skin and you will approach each day

with a wonderful sense of wonder and bliss.

~Marco R. Capristo

Journey inward

Journey outward

So often I jump into my day, ready to roar out the door

And down the dirt road to my daily destiny

I have forgotten my spiritual toiletries

I’m still a little stinky from the day before

I have not let the cleansing water of the spirit

Slough across my skin

I have not rid myself of the grime I have gathered

I have not smiled at the shear luxury of scented soap

And sweet shampoo and freshness

I am lost beneath the grime

Remind me O sacred one to talk a nice long walk within myself

Each day…

May I wander the wooded path

The glorious trail beneath the mountain

The gurgling stream

May I rediscover wonder and bless

And YOU

And me too
