Religious Pamphlets, Devotions

I have collected church pamphlets in the past They sit wedged in between some of my books. They have a seductiveness to me. They are like a child's stuffed bear. Even though I have questions and doubts of their objective claims. I knew that when I was looking in them, a memorable peace fell over my soul, and stopped the fighting self, the easily worn individual If I stress my own Individuality over everything else It can be burdensome to maintain Going alone in this world with others who all share in this same faulty nature. Maybe mythologies like this exist for a reason. To release all pressures one may have on the contemporary self, going at it like the heroes of antiquity and legend. Being always on guard over their image Their thoughts and ideas, even when the threat to their security isn't there. And even if it is under threat, How can we live that way? How? Without feeling angst, depression?
