I Quietly Resist

Rocks in a Stream I will quietly resistI quietly resist – my motto

I’ve got my own moral compass to steer by
A guiding star beats a spirit in the sky
And all the preaching voices
Empty vessels of dreams so loud
As they move among the crowd
Fools and thieves are well disguised
In the temple and marketplace
In the temple and marketplace
Like a stone in the river
Against the floods of spring
I will quietly resist
I will quietly resist
Like the willows in the wind
Or the cliffs along the ocean
I will quietly resist
I will quietly resist
I don’t have faith in faith
I don’t believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that’s faith enough for me
And that’s faith enough for me
I’ve got my own spirit level for balance
To tell if my choice is leaning up or down
And all the shouting voices
Try to throw me off my course
Some by sermon, some by force
Fools and thieves are dangerous
In the temple and marketplace
In the temple and marketplace
Like a forest bows to winter
Beneath the deep white silence
I will quietly resist
I don’t have faith in faith
I don’t believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that’s faith enough for me
And that’s faith enough for me
Like a flower in the desert
That only blooms at night
I will quietly resist
I don’t have faith in faith
I don’t believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that’s faith enough for me
And that’s faith enough for me
And that’s faith enough for me

A Note from the Editor

This website is a labor of love filled primarily with curated content from many people and places.  Any content that comes from elsewhere will be shown with quotes or links.  My desire is to create a space for others to gather who are on a spiritual journey, doing their own internal work and have a deep calling to make the world a better place.  Whenever possible (mostly timing), I will share my thoughts around the content I shared...add my perspective...but sometimes I know I won't be able to do this and still want to be able to share in the moment...when it feels relevant to me and hopefully relevant for you.  I hope you find value in the conversations at this table and will join me on a regular basis.  You can also find me on Instagram and on Facebook.

Know Better. Do Better. Be Better.
