My Race-Prayers, part 1

```

Run, run, run!

Spirituality needs both

The inner running

And the outer running.

Neither the inner running

Nor the outer running

Is a curiosity-invitation.

In the life of a genuine God-seeker

And God-lover,

Curiosity-indulgence is an inescapable

And inevitable self-destructive force.

Only when God’s unconditional

Forgiveness-Power descends,

Can the seeker make a fresh attempt

At spiritual progress.

Before we accept spirituality,

Curiosity may inspire a certain seeker

To enter into the spiritual life.

But once a seeker is spiritually

Well-established,

Curiosity-indulgence

Is the most self-destructive force.
