Stepping Outside Minds Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Watching people come and go, attending to their busy schedules
and agendas, never noticing the beauty of nature all around
them.

Mind fixed on their problems and circumstances, unable to
grasp any answers while their minds are filled with turmoil
and stress.

Wondering why they don't step outside their minds and delve
into their interior spiritual life where faith and hope sur-
vive somehow through it all, giving hope and love from the
Divine within each of us.
