There are no accolades for suffering
it’s not the paved road into heaven
which is an antiquated misinterpretation
of the holy scriptures

The Masters never taught us
that suffering is a virtue
nor is pain and suffering
a necessary teacher

There are far more pleasurable ways
to learn, expand, and grow
by choosing to listen
to our own Inner Guidance

Herein,
we have the opportunity
to choose the path of the Soul
the path of Ease and Grace.
