The Frustration of Spiritual Nagivation
The Frustration of Spiritual Navigation
Alas, there are lies,
and layers of lies.
They are like the trees of a forest.
Together they form a dark canopy.
People think they are ascending
When they leave the darkness of one tree
For the darkness of another tree. . .
Gleefully they exchange one set of lies
For another new set of lies. . .
Navigating the forest is improbable.
A man can read 300 books
And try to sort out the trees
And still be full of nonsense.
Arrogance sets in
When you clear the first few rows
Of trees
And you think you know something
When really
You do, but you don’t.
Men love to live under the complicated trees,
and play with fig leaves.
