The Connection


If despite of the things
that I do trying to please
The Most Kind I don’t belong.
If despite the fact that
I am my master’s servant,
a student of my teacher,
I’m an outcast, hopeless,
unloved, and unrecognized.
If this is the way of spirituality,
I’ll be in this plane forever.
For this idea of heaven
will not contained me;
this kind of God’s Kingdom
will not make me happy
nor complete. I will not
strive to be there.


Now I know,
one of the reasons why
I was taught to not easily
believe anyone's opinion;
so that I will not believe
those who shall be saying
that  all my sacrifices for
my quest for godliness  
are useless endeavors;
that I am a fool
doing foolish things
that’ll end up in a drain.


I’m maybe a fool, but
I’m not neither deaf nor dumb.
I do had listened and heard
the council of the wise,
who told me that life
is in his teaching, and
I will be connected to life
if I follow his instructions.
Connection is not about distance; 
not a thing of this material realm.
spirituality is a connection
that is boundless and eternal.


My teacher’s first rule
Was to not easily believe
to discern, to not follow blindly
anyone’s word, including his.
To be totally convinced that
what he is saying is true
before I follow or I obey.
And that exactly is what I did,
before his words had became
the air that I breath, my bread,
which without I shall perish,
I shall truly die. My life and soul,

the only thing that truly matters.
