What you seek is seeking you.

                       

                              Mother Teresa, Dalai Lama, Islam's Muhammad, a nun in a habit,
                              and Sister Wendy,  and on to Helena Blavatsky.
                              Jesus Christ, Pope John Paul, Dolores Hart, and Dorthy Kazel,
                              and Martin Luther King.
                              Gautama Buddha, Brigham Young, John the Baptist and Andrea Jaeger,
                              Hildegard of Bingen, Mary Mackillop, and Mary Baker Eddy too.
                           
                              And all of them think they are right to preach what they believe.
                              Agnostics know nothing of things beyond an unseen world.
                                                       
                                                                         Rumi.
                                          Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing
                                          there is a field.    I will meet you there!

Mad Bad and Dangerous to Know

                             
                 
                                    So we'll go no more a-roving so late into the night,
                                    Though the heart be still as loving and the moon be still as bright.
                                    For the sword outwears it's sheath, and the soul wears out the breast,
                                    and the heart must pause to breathe, and love itself have rest.
                                    Though the night was made for loving and the day returns too soon,
                                     yet we'll go no more a-roving by the light of the moon.
