What I Learned on My Walk Today

What I Learned on My Walk Today

What works for me

Is not right for you

 

What works for you

Is not right for her

 

Each and every one of us

Has a unique path

Toward wellness, and

Eventual enlightenment

 

That path is different

For every living soul

 

For some, it may be a practice:

Yoga, or meditation,

A certain spiritual tradition

Philosophical system, or

Alternative therapy

 

For others it might be

A lifestyle choice

Or a dietary one—

A decision to go gluten free

Go raw or vegan

 

Most likely,

Several choices

And decisions

Contributes to our health,

And our well-being

 

Each one of us mirrors

All that we have been

At many times

And in many places

 

What works for one—

Does not work for another

And no one has the right

To impose their spirituality

Or philosophical proclivities

Or political persuasions

On any other

 

We must find our own path—

We must discover it within

And follow it proudly

 

We find our way

By going inside,

And by listening

To our deepest wisdom

 

What works for me

Is not right for you

 

So please, do not tell me—

How to live,

Believe or practice.

 

If I truly listen,

The Divine in Me

Will always guide me

Through inspirations

And sacred insights
