"Spirituality is recognizing
and celebrating that we are
all inextricably connected to
each other by a power greater
than all of us, and that our
connection to that power and
to one another is grounded in
love and compassion. Practicing
spirituality brings a sense of
perspective, meaning and
purpose to our lives."
~Brené Brown
We had such a marvelous
discussion last night. My
daughter-in-law made an
interesting comment; hope
I get this right . . .
She said something along
the lines of . . . the gift of
religion is that it leads us
to spirituality . . . lovely
idea.
Seems to me that the term
spirituality means something
somewhat different to each
of us. For me, it is found in
acts of kindness, compassion
and forgiveness . . .
. . . handing a child a flower,
helping an elderly woman
with her groceries, lending
a hand to someone in a
wheel chair . . .
. . . reading aloud to a person
with poor eyesight, sending
flowers to the lonely, the odd
phone call or note . . .
Religion is a choice that works
for many, methinks having very
little to do with spirituality. This
'don', this gift lives within us all.
'Tis a matter of paying attention
to business and embracing it
with all our hearts . . .
