"Those of doctrine must follow or miss the growth". From my perspective, I have to disagree. Blindly following doctrine or accepted beliefs doesn't always promote growth. Individualized approaches are, in my tiny opinion, the staple of growth. I won't debate you. I would lose miserably, but, it is nice to read intelligent work. But, to be honest, I'm the kind of guy who stares at the sun and wonders why my eyes hurt. So, consider the source of the compliment.

Oh no I don't believe in in following blindly, in fact, it's the opposite. Currently, where I'm working manage, a group of people of over 12000 the spiritual people are arguing with the religious people go see, they're right. One is antiquated and the other is new age. So when I looked at that poem, I thought of the rift between us, when there doesn't need to be one, because we're not that far apart. I wrote the poem with that in mind. So no I am not a fan of of any kind of doctrine. And what I meant by that line was to say that religion needs to evolve, because if it doesn't, it will continue to fall by the wayside as it has for some time now. Put religious people tend to be stonehearted, and we cement blinders on, they're not open to ideas different than their own. So that's why i'm saying in my line, but they'll miss the growth, if they don't. In the end, my poem brings them together. So with the current real situation, the picture and the words that I wrote, they all come together to tell tail my hope for a good ending. I completely appreciate your review, your time and your very thoughtful comments.And I thank you for sharing with me most of all! For your time and your great reading and all the great things that you've had to say thank you again. I wish you and yours a wonderful holiday and great nights too!

Religion will always fail. That's why I'm a spiritual guy. MY spirituality will not fail me, other people will, but that's to be expected. My true feelings alone. thank you for making me think. I like thatl

I too am spiritual with 5000 religions in the world. Who can choose? I'd rather not. I'll stick with the simple things and not buy into all the dogma. Nice to chat with another like me.
-
Where does the word dogma originate?
-
In some way, isn't rebellion against a set of rules and principles dogmatic? You are a dogged believer in freedom of spirituality, which in a way has its own set of rules that you won't change. I know that line is fine and ambiguous, but it's there. lol Sorry, I'm just pulling your leg, but think about it anyway.
-
It's an ancient greek word that means opinion or judgment
-
I'm just saying that we all have opinions and pass judgment, so saying we don't follow dogma isn't totally true. We follow our own.

Some focus on rising through the ranks without any regard for others and often make enemies along the way. A fine presentation about growth at much cost, love Dolly x x x

Thanks, Dolly. I'm glad you liked it so much. I'm always happy to see you here as you know. When I saw that picture it reminded me of the current situation. That's going on right now. That is spiritual people are fighting with religious people. The spiritual people stick with doctrine and scripture. Whether the people are insisted a new age, so we need to evolve together or we just vote. Make it and one really not that far apart. So when I saw that picture with the two head splitting, I envisioned it coming back together again and wrote accordingly. Super, glad you liked it super. Happy for your review and great reading. I wish you the best holiday ever for you. And yours have a great night!
Comment from CrystieCookie999
This is an intriguing poem. I liked reading it, because it felt like the speaker was on a mental journey that involves really huge change. It has an optimistic ending, sort of like the Elysian fields of heaven, so to speak, but it still has 'grassy steps.' I am wondering if you meant 'steppes' there instead, unless you were thinking of like a terraced landscape with pretty lawn everywhere.

Hi Crystie! Thank you so much. I'm glad you find it intriguing and that you like to read it. That makes me feel awesome. Thanks for that! Currently, I manage a group of about twelve thousand people in the religious people are having a battle of words with spiritual people. When I think we should be unity and not a park, we're really not that far apart from one another. So when I saw the picture of the split head, I thought about these 2 factions arguing with one another. And I thought, what a cool idea represented a healing head rather than one coming apart.So I wrote with those things in mind, and the feet express idea that we will come together eventually. The steps, as it will were merely the steps to our destination to becoming one. I'm so glad you liked it. And I giving you a head scratch, that's good, though I think. Thank you so much for your fine rating for your time and great comments. I wish and hope for you and your family to have a wonderful holiday that your nights are great.Thanks again!

I tend to go for the image rather than the word. Sometimes it might look like what it's not. I think about my subject matter, and then I think about beginnings and endings, and I fill the story in between. I like to smash words together like the ones that are opposite of one another. I really a basic example would be a winter heat for summer frost. If I look at a tree and go, it's gorgeous tree.I think majestic skeletal wooden arms. Reaching for the miracle globe, rather than say the shining sun, just stuff like that. Hope that helps. Thank you for the awesome review. I'm so happy you liked it.Your words and your rating and your time are all valuable to me. Thanks again.I hope you have an awesome evening!
