The Way (Free verse) by Dovina

* I seek to be a believer. WHAT A TREMENDOUS WASTE OF ENERGY. Suppose I stop seeking. THEN YOU ARE A BELIEVER. *

If you know for certain that I didn't hear kids worrying about going to hell and that I heard it from Pascal, then you are delusional, or my strict religious upbringing was all an illusion. Whatever.

I think the poem holds together on an emotional level for some who have struggled with religious belief and what it means. I am not strongly Buddhist or Taoist, but appreciate some of their philosophies.

Someday I’ll figure out how you can be so confident in knowing what I think and believe.
