Stumbling Blocks

Stumbling Blocks

Considering how this

phrase lingers from

recent conversations..

What are the blocks which

scripture mentions..and

have entered modern 

discourse..?

Often it seems

a stumbling block

is posed as criticism

of a belief confessed:

 vital to one

not to another..

Or..attachment to a

teacher comes under

scrutiny..

These sometimes 
hurtful exchanges occur 

when thought and

perception are awarded

more than their due.. 

What is crucial now

is to ask the Question:

How may these blocks

be swept away..?

There is 

a most direct way

which recognizes the

simple truth of  our

incarnational identity..

Knowing our identity

we can experience 

all blocks burning

in one fiery
ever-present

 Self...
