So I changed the question I was asking,  
and the ground began to move.

I said, “Spirit, show me truth,”  
not “Is this the truth they gave me.”  
And the light came breaking through,  
not a yes, not a no, but a knowing.  
What I felt was real,  
what I needed was growing.  
And the walls I lived inside  
were too small for my soul.  
Everything I need is within me now.  
Everything I need is within me.

Then the house of cards collapsed around me,  
every certainty undone.  
I didn’t know who I was becoming,  
only knew I couldn’t run.  
I wandered through a dozen doorways,  
sat in pews that weren’t my own.  
Agnostic for a season,  
but never truly alone.

Even when I couldn’t name it,  
I could feel the More behind the veil.

Then grief came like a storm around me,  
after my grandmother passed on.  
And something shook me to my center,  
like a lightning‑struck dawn.  
Not gentle, not a whisper,  
but a shock that split me wide.  
There is more than you imagined,  
there is life on the other side.

So I searched the world for wisdom,  
every teaching, every flame.

One quiet day it found me,  
soft as breath, strong as revelation.  
The truth I chased in pages  
was already in my bones.  
Texts can be my teachers,  
but the source is in my spirit.  
I am not a seeker lost,  
I am a seeker coming home.

I said, “Spirit, show me truth,”  
and the truth rose up inside me.  
Not a doctrine, not a rule,  
but a voice that finally freed me.  
What I felt was real,  
what I needed kept growing.  
Now I walk a wider path,  
where community is holy.  
Everything I need is within me now.  
Everything I need is within us.

I grew up in a world of answers, rules that told me who to be. Tried to fit inside their borders, but the borders never fit me. I prayed the words they handed to me, waiting for a truth that never spoke. Every silence felt like warning, every doubt a tiny smoke. So I changed the question I was asking, and the ground began to move. I said, “Spirit, show me truth,” not “Is this the truth they gave me.” And the light came breaking through, not a yes, not a no, but a knowing. What I felt was real, what I needed was growing. And the walls I lived inside were too small for my soul. Everything I need is within me now. Everything I need is within me. Then the house of cards collapsed around me, every certainty undone. I didn’t know who I was becoming, only knew I couldn’t run. I wandered through a dozen doorways, sat in pews that weren’t my own. Agnostic for a season, but never truly alone.
