How I go to church -
In my mind the conversation must include the stars, the trees and the rocks so, the outer dialog is just as important as the inner silence.
(For me) it is like the child in awe, or the way we know when it is time to drop to our knees as the sky changes.
It is when the world is painted a different color and gives us a multi-colored background – my gesture is reverence – it has no words.
The delivery method is a simple query as the universe complies with prayers.
No expectations - just a gentle nudge, a smile, and solace where I am.
This is my religion.
I am thankful.
The end. ~ Debbie Lynn - 360 Degrees Full Circle
