Once the soul awakens,
the search begins
and you can never go back.
From then on,
you are inflamed with a special longing
that will never again let you linger
in the ruts of complacency
and partial fulfillment.
The eternal makes you urgent.
You hate to let compromise or
the threat of danger hold you back
from striving toward
the summit of fulfillment.
The will of God.
