Business as usual

I took a course in spirituality.

I’m at peace, as a divine light shines upon me, and highlights doorways previously hidden from sight. Of course, I would like to go to the other end, but I fall. The teachers say I’m not ready as yet. It will take some more cleansing, some more struggle to reach there.

I don’t like falling with a thud, from the heights I’d assumed I reached …. till I realize that it is all about placement of the ladder. It can move goalposts to suit their plans.

It is their business as much as mine.

Great story Reena. When we think we have reached a certain height, there is always more to do before. Thank you for sharing for this prompt.

  Goalposts are everybody’s business, and interests can clash 🙂
