Does one really have to fret
About enlightenment?
No matter what road I travel,
I'm going home.

I found this to be inspiring...
I have come to know simple truths that before were disguised by my complexity. I have come to know the inner vision that sees with much clarity. I've come to know me, the gentleness of my spirit, as it may express itself through love and tenderness. I've come to know power in a way that’s personal and creative. My personal power of choice.

If someone says, "To be enlightened you must fast and pray all night"
Have dinner and go to bed.
If you see a sign, "This way to salvation,"

The object is to keep busy being something...as opposed to doing something. We are all sent here to bring more gratitude, more kindness, more forgiveness and more love into this world. That is too big a job to be accomplished by just a few.

From my favorite...
