Are you a spiritual person? I think I am, but not in the conventional sense.
For me, spirituality has very little to do with religion or God or following a specific moral path, instead it's more about 'appreciation' - more about 'seeing' with both eyes: with the inner-eye and the outer-eye.
Disconnection is the stoker of doom. In my eyes, to be 'spiritual' means to always be attempting to 'connect'.
Whether it be with the so-called 'small things', such as the way ever-changing natural light transforms the surfaces of the world around us - [just this morning I found myself awe-struck by the glittering green texture of sun-drenched grass.]
Or whether it's with the 'big stuff', like feeling genuine compassion for the suffering of a stranger. When seeing the violence currently unfolding in Iraq, I can't help wishing that if only more people encouraged this virtue within themselves, then perhaps world-history wouldn't be so stained with wasted blood.
Another aspect of my personal spirituality is creativity/the power of the imagination/vision. This is very important to me.
I honestly believe I am never more at ease with myself than when I'm lost within the process of imaginative creation. Whether what I produce has any relevance doesn't really concern me, it's the sureness of the expression and development of my ideas which is the crucial thing.
I'm sure we've all at some point experienced moments of intense inspiration - it's a seriously wonderful and life-enhancing thing. In those moments when the sparks of inspiration flood my mind, this is for me the best feeling there is. To slip into 'religious-speak' for a moment: to feel energized with inspiration is to be touched by the divine.
Overall, I can sum up my personal spiritual outlook with a saying I once heard: 'Grow and make grow'. It's a good motto for life I think.
Anyway, I'll stop here. There's no point mumbling on unduly. I'm not sure if I've made much sense, but what the hell.
