Follow the path of your own sacred narrative, breathe its privileged culture, live it like a truth, while constantly enlightening it with well cultivated graces.
Joan of Arc
Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
as she came riding through the dark;
no moon to keep her armour bright,
no man to get her through this very smoky night.
She said, "I'm tired of the war,
I want the kind of work I had before,
a wedding dress or something white
to wear upon my swollen appetite"
Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way,
you know I've watched you riding every day
and something in me yearns to win
such a cold and lonesome heroine.
"And who are you?" she sternly spoke
to the one beneath the smoke.
"Why, I'm fire," he replied,
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride…"
– Leonard Cohen

Don't mistake and therefore limit your perceptions of truth, reality and goodness because of a fear of new ideas and perspectives. Such fear affects ones education, spirituality and even ones politics. Never be afraid to question. In questioning we learn to comprehend what is real and true. The capacity to learn exists in the soul. Walk the path with love, reverence and a steady pace. Fear not, the light will dawn and continuously shine with an increased clarity.
