Doubt

Doubt
the easy answers,
question half-truths,
be wary of the platitudes
of politicians and preachers.
Dig deeply for what is real,
trusting most those things
which are full of compassion,
generosity of spirit,
humility and kindness.
Be ready to change your mind,
especially when your conscience
whispers for attention.
Doubt
is the partner of wisdom.
It is the unmarked path
which leads to faith
and freedom.
