Cold weather chills the body. Cold thoughts chill the mind. Cold relations chill the heart. Cold religions chill the soul.

"Cold religions chill the soul." That really hits home right now. I find myself chilled and dismayed by the frigidity of old friends, and embarrassed that I was once like that in the name of my faith.
I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Beautiful poems, BTW.

Thanks for your comment and your kind words.
No need to feel embarrassed about the past. Mistakes are often our best teachers.
Thanks for reading.
