Eternal Peace

When we hold to
our strong opinion
we close our hearts
to hearing another heart.

I am not religious,
but I am spiritual and
I believe we will have peace
in our world

only when we
stop criticism, comparison,
judgement,
and condemnation.

Our open heart will allow others to open theirs,
then truth,
mine and yours,
can be shared.
That is true spiritual freedom.
