Not All Thoughts Come Clean


Written for .


Prompt: Bathing


Every morning he
takes a spiritual bath;
not all thoughts come clean

Not all thoughts come clean
a resilient soul doesn't
let mind hold them long..

    i found that so many who pray and attend service 'religiously' are often the worst of the lot, with their secrets and connivence

    Very thought provoking!!! Holy dip can signify both a pure heart and a dark one!

    GReat image - spiritual bath - can mean so many different things. Haiku is provocative.
    Perhaps life here on earth is our spiritual bath?

    Who says real and the ethereal , pragmatic and the spiritual, concrete and the subtle.....don't meet. They meet here and what a satisfying rendezvous!!!

    The Spirit always knows. It is sometimes difficult to stay in the bath long enough to wash out what needs to be attended.
