Have you at all
Had a spiritual experience?
And were you able to
Recognize it as such?
Scan your memory
For all the moments
When Understanding
Came to the rescue
And calmed all storms within…
Or you had a question
And an answer came your way
It felt as though
You had been in conversation
With Eternity…
Or when you surrendered
Your stake in the ownership
Of a circumstance
With the willingness to accept
Whatever came your way
And you found yourself
Taking charge
With a mysterious grace.
Have you experienced
An expansion of being?
Are you able to witness
Your own becoming?
Are you able to see
The play of your life
Even as you play it?
Have your simplest gestures
Touched someone in profound ways?
Have you been unaffected
By loss… or by gain?
Is your daily experience
One of abundance…
Or one of poverty?
Do you have faith
In eternal goodness?
And lastly…
Have you found the wisdom
To be happy?
