brought-up Catholic
extensive damage wrought
knee jerk atheist reaction
but slower consideration
brings better tranquillity

new learning to respect
other people’s beliefs
whatever they may be
and exploring what might
just work for me as well

still trying to make peace
with myself as much as
with the rest of the world
deity not possible for me
except that found in others

peace acceptance
forgiveness resilience
awareness responsibility
other people have religion
but I like ‘Abou Ben Adhem’

growth and evolved
emotional development
giving and receiving
being grateful and
committing to better life
