Doubters vs Believers

Sometimes a first step starts a journey of 10,000 steps...It can be logical to question…doubt. But sooner or later moments of motion transcend fear within doubt, liberating belief in our actions…

a poem by Harlon Rivers

"Doubters" and "Believers" are polar opposites,

like North is of South

Yet there is a little of both East and West in everyone

The protagonist versus the antagonists, a stalemate of the middle,

neutralizing fire and ice into water

Doubt fosters uncertainty and disbelief darkening optimism

of hopeful illumination of brighter pathways.

Belief in humanity cultivates faith into new beginnings, 
brighter moments, hopeful tomorrows. 
Finding inner peace and balance awakens devotion to hope.

Fidelity of unseen gravity is grounding

Trust is found through sincerity,  authenticity,  and yet

doubters hazy indistinctness muddles the enlightenment

of confidence that the long and twisting road

does not come to a dead end

just around the unseen bend in the pathway

Significance of ideals can not be discovered 

until insignificance renders us into 

an egoless thought of a speck of dust 

As the volcanic flow of significance in thought immerges

from the dust,   it builds the doubters dome into belief

as if seeing becomes believing transforming ambiguity

into definable reflections of faith in love.

Nothing is inevitable except to know the circle of life is a circle.

There is likely only one complete,  complex journey around  

and only we can choose which crossroad to turn upon.

To dream of doubt concludes the final dead end corner.

To be a dream believer cultivates eternal faith in hope...
