Courage to Change

Courage to Change:
To The Blessed Beauty

"The troubles of this world pass, and what we have left is what we have made of our souls; so it is to this we must look, - to becoming more spiritual, drawing nearer to God, not matter what our human minds and bodies are going through."

Shoghi Effendi

Death lurks around the corner,
waiting to embrace
the aware
and the unaware
with equal fervor.

Spiritual transformation can't be delay,
can't be put off,
or ignored.

Now is the time
to change,
not tomorrow or next week.

Now is the time to find
the courage to change,
to evolve spiritually
by moving closer to God.
