Awakenings
Copyright 1997, Alan Graham

Within a secular attitude, visions of greed permeate the mind.
The ego has reared its ugly head in an attempt for power.
His mind tells him he is alone. His soul knows of a blissful existence
where lust, greed, envy and pride have no power. Feelings of
singularity dissipate.
In a city of extreme cultural diversity, his world is private. Solitude
gives him a sense of purpose in a place where time exists merely
as a friend. The balance of man's justice has no weight where God's
love is the only love that exists. The emerging spirit gives sight to
an undying connection based on not only moral and ethical
principal but also spiritual rather than secular personalities.
The Spirit overcomes the mind and controls the senses.
Issuing a purpose to the man, he begins another journey.
Fear is a distant memory as he embarks on the simple mission
of merely sharing the experience, strength, hope and love he has
come to realize for any who seek it.
