I am confused. I yearn for a spiritual community, yet I find it difficult to mold myself into any one church with any sense of regularity. I am slipping further and further away from church...but not from my personal relationship with my sense of the Divine, what I have throughout my life called God. But my God isn't some humanistic or anthropomorphic being but a sensing, a spirit-nurturer, a still, small voice, and a strong sense of connectedness to all Creation (and I don't and never will experience that wholeness that I feel a part of). Creation is so vast and that means for me that God is vast. Way too big and far too holy to image or imagine ... yet I can draw God, I can colour God with crayons and watercolors, and I can see, hear, feel, and know God in so many ways. I hope you spend some time on Sundays (whenever that falls in your week) to meet the holy through art. Your art doesn't have to be visible, it can be auditory -- like music, or sensate -- like dance, yoga, Qui Kung. Just let yourself get lost in that delight of connectedness. It heals a lot!
