Channel: Another Way Through

Doubt still lingers,
But in the dark
These little fireflies
Keep dancing before my eyes,

Nuggets of wisdom
From teachings I read or hear
Continuously appear,
Concise but attention grabbing,

Tiny but profound,
Only here and there
But everywhere I look,
They stop me every time.

I want to quit
But these miniscule hints
Prevent me
From completely giving up.

I always return
With fascination
To the words of the wise,
That resonate unexpectedly;

Their insights surprise;
Their presence,
The very essence
Expressed in human voice.
