the way
(c) Menachem Creditor
keep working your own heart.
open yourself to the next flower,
the next breeze,
the next person you see.
take a moment.
perhaps ask the flower what it needs,
ask the person what she needs.
(dare you ask yourself what you truly need?)
don't worry so much about the way to God.
if you can open yourself to another,
the way to God will reveal itself
that much more clearly.
