Elucidating Questions

How important is spirituality in your life?

Spirituality is my life blood

Without it I probably wouldn’t be here

I wake with my glorious ball of fire Sol

Think thoughts at him all day

See all my planets as they pass by

Commune with the the Moon

The stars have become my neighbours

The creatures around me all family

I believe that every life that is here is precious

No matter how short, or cruel

That we, in our strange difference from all these beings in their systems

Have a duty to care for everything around us

No not domesticate

Care for

That the Sun is where we come from

Until you think of where he came from

And back and back

Until we come to our poor Universe

Great watcher and meddler

And then, who knows?

If there’s one thing about my spirituality it is that it is fluid

There is so much I cannot know, nor pretend to

I only reached out for help and found it in the great beings around me

I know the word “god” doesn’t really work for them

Not in any classic sense of the term

I associate things with them

But their actual effects on this great Mother Earth I am still only learning

They are as much great beings as they are friends

I have no great understanding of what lies after life

Only this strong feeling that this was supposed to be a paradise

I mean does she not shine through in those moments when you can escape the hell that humanity has created?

I feel we were supposed to care for and nurture nature

Not conquer and assault her

We are but tiny beings in this small world

That happened to happen

We should know that what we have is rare and precious but for some reason we don’t

And I don’t know why

My spirituality tells me to stick to these feelings

And to engage in things others think are silly

I think it links back to our more wild selves

Science probably can answer everything but the science we know doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of all there is to know

And in a Universe where almost every time someone says “that’s impossible” it happens

I feel like embracing our ignorance and opening up to the endless possibilities is the right path for me
