Three Meditations Poem by Don Winslow

I found my inner peace in St. Margaret’s Church,
Repeating the names of Saints, ending with “Pray for us”.
My mind quiets and contemplates.

I found my inner self in my own silent room,
Breathing mindfully, calming all my senses.
My psyche quiets and examines.

I found my inner soul in Sinnepuxent Bay,
Focusing, feeling, finding clams with my mind-eyed toes.
My spirit quiets and reflects.

Inner peace, inner self, inner soul—all the same goal,
But each road, each path, is so different.
Does it matter which one I take?
