poetry isn’t my main thing, but i thought that i’d step outside of my comfort zone a bit :)

i need a guru
i need a sensei
i’m looking for someone
to show me the way

stumbling forwards
and fumbling blindly
please won’t you tell me
what i need to do?

there’s too many choices
and possible dangers
i really don’t know
which way i should go

so give me the doctrine
the one true solution
save me
from confusion
and free me from doubt

tell me what to think
tell me what to feel
tell me what to do
and i’ll worship you

I really like this honest cry from a searching heart.
Dan Elbourne replied

thanks catherine :) i’m not a religious person, nor ever will be, but i still feel this way sometimes. sometimes i feel that it would be easier to let someone else tell me what i should think, feel and do instead of trying to work these things out for myself; to let someone else make the decisions and take responsibility. intellectually though, i think that this is a very bad idea.

I hear ya Dan… I often feel this way… and would love to have the “blind faith” of some people. I read something recently… and have now come to the conclusion that we are all born perfectly whole…and have everything in our souls..and spirit to accomplish anything. Our life experiences cloud us.. and make us doubt ourselves. So perhaps the “Guru” you are searching for is known to you already..intimately within yourself. : ) Just a thought.
P.S. Love the scribble..you should try it more often! Wen xx
