What is Spirituality?

Today someone asked me what my spirituality / religion was? Great question and it got me thinking. For me my spirituality is found wholly in the days of my own life. Every event, experience, feeling and thought. When I handle it well and when I don't. When I'm praying and when I'm playing.

I choose not to follow any one set of teachings, though there are many I admire and am influenced by. Yet these are based in the experience of other lives. And no one can understand my spirituality in the way I can. Just as you cannot know your spiritual path from following my books or work, though I hope they turn you on to your own path!

So next time you doubt the veracity of your spirituality, remember that this is somewhat irrelevant. Your life is a tapestry of spirituality, good, bad and ugly. Embrace the experience of your life, that is the most your spirit ever asks.
