Soul Venture

Our soul is the center that contains our true thoughts and feelings. Therefore, maintaining a sense of balance is crucial in every facet of our lives.

Religious leader David O. McKay taught, “The greatest battles of life are fought out daily in the silent chambers of the soul”.

Therefore, in any venture we undertake the true investments rest on the state of our souls. In reality, we need to embrace that which gives us credence.

Just like a picnic, as summarized in my poem, our souls work with the times;

            A picnic in time:

      Behind those faces, lights are traveling;

      Behind those faces, days are longing;

      Rest on our shoulders, we came to be;

      Hens are crowing, in line with dawn.

      As we all venture,

      To a passing new day,

      We get to work hard,

      We get to play hard,

      Oh Lord, bless our conquer;

      On a brighter new day

      

      See rose blooming,

      As the sun is smiling,

      On a latter day, the rain is dropping,

      In a vase so blue, come yesterday,

      On a vine of grapes,

      We sail adventure.

      As we rest ashore

      To a coming new night

      The stars are blinking

      To a passing moon

      We get to laugh hard

      We get to sing aww

     Oh Lord, bless your heart

     On a twinkling bright night

In essence, if you don’t venture, you won’t enjoy the adventure.
