Religion and Spirituality

You don't need religion to be spiritual, or to have a relationship with God.
Don't let anyone tell you that your opinions aren't valid just because you don't subscribe to a man-made belief system, or that your experience of the Divine isn't real because it doesn't coincide with what someone wrote down in a cave 3000 years ago regarding their experience.

Religion is fine, but there comes a time where reading about how good a flower smells doesn't satisfy the heart any longer.
Have your own experiences, and pursue your own revelations.
Your experiences are not peripheral.

Nature is my religion.
Earth is my church.
