she's says

she's spiritual, but not

it's what most people say

these days,

or Jesus.

the resurrection, or

second coming.

they don't want to align

themselves

with a church or

one of a hundred

different varieties

interpretating

the Bible

to fit their own

personal needs or views.

we do indeed like to cherry

pick our beliefs.

some like to sit

and pray, or to kneel,

or to sing

plant your seeds here.

and watch how quickly 

the crops

will grow on your desolate

dry land.
