Oh, Seeker--poem by Dorothy
Oh, Seeker
Oh, seeker, do not follow
the trodden ways
that the elders have created.
Too often these are deceptive,
have lost their luster.
Find your own pathway,
and you will arrive
at your true destination.
Nothing will be gained
by mindlessly repeating
ancient formulas
and prescribed practices
with little understanding.
Accept what rings true
but test each in the fire
of your own intelligence.
Do listen to those
who wear robes
and thus claim authority
or wish you to bow down.
There is an authority
higher than any of those
who demand blind obedience
and imposed obligations.
Your true guide is the one
who lives within,
who will lead you
to the prize you yearn for,
the jewel in your heart.
