Spiritual Simplicity

Source: istockphoto.com - MaicaThere is a real trap when walking the spiritual path I’ve discovered. How many of us have read every book anyone has ever recommended, or we’ve seen on-line, in stores, etc? We are on a journey of exploration after all, trying to find a pearl, an ‘aha’ moment, something which will bring us beauty, purity, clarity and simplicity.

My best spiritual buddy (Mum) and I have done this for many years, and found a few gems from lots of wonderful resources. Ironically, the deeper the exploration went, the more we both sought simplicity, and quite independently we returned to two sources which I highly commend to you:

Frederick Baile’s book “Hidden Power for Human Problems” is a truly wonderful book written many years ago, long before self-help books came into vogue. It can be found on Amazon.

The second is The Serenity Prayer:

God grant me the Serenity

to accept the things I cannot change

Courage to change the things I can

and Wisdom to know the difference

Simplicity itself, so I won’t attempt to analyse or explain. Rather, I will leave you to ponder just what this wonderful prayer means to you.

How simple our lives would be if only we could put it into practice!

Love, peace and wisdom
