DISTRACTION

 The Gadfly looked at the pious crowd and said, “Does your body strain to climb the highest peaks that you may sit at the feet of a teacher and learn life’s mysteries?  Does your heart ache to plumb the depths of your scriptures and your rituals in order to grab hold of sacred truths?  Those secrets already behold you from the eyes of your children.  They sing to you from your laughter and rock you in your tears.  The consummation of your spirit’s journey does not dwell in the furthest reaches of the heavens.  Rather, the kingdom of heaven is within you.  But you have been too busy peering through the skylights of your souls to heed its presence.
