Aspire to transcend,
reach higher consciousness,
like a lotus rising out of muck –
but grace and virtue elude me,
more mud hen than delicate flower,
lack the subtleties of enlightenment –
spiritually inept.

And yet … that is the norm, that is indeed the enlightenment – that we are rising from the mud. Love the way you have couched this – so true.

I do so love the phrase “spiritually inept,” although I don’t like to think of it applied to an actual person. It’s better than “spiritually bereft,” I suppose.
