You've taken a journey in life like many people searching for what to believe, Stef. I'm happy for you, it looks like you found something to believe in. I like the triangle the 3 point in life where all is balanced. Your beliefs are yours to hold, for everyone in this world has been given the right to choose. May your journey be the right choice. This is a good entry for the My Faith Poetry Contest. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much love!
Comment from William Stephenson1
A remarkable poem, although I would not have called it that. You have a wonderful demonstration of the term "faith." It is a journey with many turns and ruts and potholes. I saw some questionable spells such as "catholic" should be capitalized. "Forthe" with an e I haven't seen before. The second paragraph is confusing when it tries to explain this part of your journey.
It seems as if you have come full circle. I want to read it again.

Thank you love! It was an on the spot piece during a convoluted situation, so I did notice it wasn't as clear or defined as I would've liked it to be. I will eventually add more and explain in further detail. I am currently working on my manuscript I have to have somewhat together by the end of next week, but once I am finished with that there will be an updated version of this faith journey! I appreciate your enthusiasm!

This is a deep dive into your journey of faith. I had a similar journey, so I resonated will some of your stops along the way. B'hai attracted me in the 70s. I thought it was natural and inclusive. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Thank you so much love! It was an on the spot piece, and I plan to add more at some point when I complete my book I have five days to get together!
Comment from Gloria ....
This is a long and convoluted tome illustrating why the writer is not Catholic. Despite the many typographical mistakes and also errors in logic some may find this interesting.
I found it to be a long, disorganized and pretentious piece trying to be more profound than it actually is.
Thank you for sharing. :)

Thanks for your response. There are specific misspellings for undertones & other meanings, not specifically to describe not being a catholic believer but as a part of my faith and the truth within. There are reasons within the Buddhist aspect for the expressions in spelling. For example 'REacting'; is to act out of your own feelings not to be enforced by anything other than your own vibrations & the buddha within you. The capitalization is also pointing out the reaction instead of the action stemmed from the river of love inside of every human and the recognition of the response. Any humans findings of their own religion is profound, especially when they had no specific force pushing them in any direction. It is supposed to be profound for every human; it is life changing and eye opening. Finding an undefined unorthodox belief within many religions together as a center is unnamable.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Well done to you, Stef, for having the intelligence and motivation to seek out a faith tailored to your own specific needs rather than have someone else's rammed down your throat. This is what life is all about, not being made to feel limited by others but to expand and find joy in your own imagination and discovery. Take care Debbie
