How did the spiritual side start
| Wed, 06-29-2005 - 4:05pm |
I am waiting to leave to meet a new man,
early 60's but kids 9 nd 11, (yikes) his young wife
died. Have been reading people's childhoods in the interim.
I found it interesting and fun. People come to life. Somewhere in our
pasts the light went on about higher consciousness
What brings us there? I'm sure it is all different for all of us.
Does it have to be thru pain??????? leila

Children are wonderful teachers...I am not the same person I was before I had them, that's for sure. I'm definitely a better person for being a parent.
Agree, religion does separate, especially if you run into people who are so arrogant they think their way is the right way...ugh. The Catholics have much in common with the Jews, not in their actual beliefs but in their rituals/traditions and the amount of importance they place on them.
I'm sorry about your son, but glad you received a miracle...they do happen...I'm sure you have been a great help to him.
always say the UPS men here are so cute but too young!!
Like why go out, they come to your house!!!!!!!! I never
asked them about their underwear!!!!!!!! I went out with an older guy,
he got out of the truck with a cane, a pillow and teeth the color of egg yolks.
he said he had metaphysical interests. I asked what they were, he said:
his neighbor meditates and is vegetarian and he talks to them. hello!!!!!!!
After lunch, he asked if I'd tip the chair so he could get out, I tipped
it too much, the table started to tip over and he did also. Men at the next table
caught him and fixed the table. I walked out with him pretending he was my dad.
I'll let you all know if my next hubby comes along!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank God, I am
finally happy with my life as it is. Love, leila
All this "Bad Date" talk has sparked a question,
What's the worst date you ever had (or dates)?
My worst date was a guy my sister fixed me up with.
I think my spiritual side began to blossom in childhood and it was nurtured by my family as I was raised Catholic. While I loved playing with my friends, I sought solitude, also, in nature. I'd sit inside a hedge that had a hollowed out space, on lazy summer afternoons, and just daydream and feel the quiet and peace around me. I loved going to Church with my grandma, too, and the novenas and Mass. It was all so mysterious and special! I loved kneeling by my bed, looking up at the Crucifix above my bed, and praying to Jesus, thanking him or praying earnestly for something close to my heart. Later, in high school, I lost that spirituality and closeness to God, and didn't regain it until after I finished college. I also went through some major pain in my life, that brought me back to God, also. I don't know why as adults it seems to be that way. Children are spiritual from the get-go, in their own ways. Then somehow we learn to suppress that innate spirituality and connection, I think, because the secular word expects it. When we're shaken to our foundation by something huge in our lives, then it's like a heads-up. Now that I'm older, I can see the pattern that was in my life, but now I have more focus and understanding of the importance and priority of my spiritual life, so I don't let it slide so easily or get sidetracked.
