Spiritual Path

He said to me, "I've been searching for years for a spiritual path and I've finally found it." I didn't know him well. I mean how well does one know their favorite barista even if they do make you a brew every day? But his words struck a chord with me. "You found a spiritual path?" I couldn't believe I was asking this question in the middle of a crowded Starbucks. "Can you tell me about it?" I asked. "I would love to," he said. And so my journey began. Frightened, excited and apprehensive, I take a few steps forward each day, trying to leave past beliefs behind and make room for hope, peace, and a new way. Namaste.
