"I'm spiritual, not religious,
which means my beliefs can evolve."
~Unknown
I read the above quote this morning.
Got me to thinking. Thought it might
be a good idea to look up the definitions.
"Religion is a specific set of organized
beliefs and practices, usually shared by
a community or group."
"Spirituality is more of an individual
practice and has to do with having a
sense of peace and purpose."
I love language, languages in fact.
I enjoy nuance and different shades
of gray, if you will. I even get a kick
out of splitting hairs! Might just have
something to do with why I became
a Lang Arts teacher.
Language is a precious gift to one
and all. And, in this case, I believe it
helps to understand whether one
embraces the religious or the spiritual
path.
Me thinks there's naught wrong with
either. May have something to do with
one's belief system or even personality.
Bottom line, 'tis always a good idea to
know where you stand . . .
I may be spiritual rather than religious,
but I will ever and always honor you
and your path!
