About Me:
Hi all, I'm re-joining after a few years, and as I've changed/reverted SO much in who I am and what I believe -or don't,(a change back to my essential self for most of my life) after a period of hard times, for the sake of a fresh start, I'm concealing, for now, my gender and other things that may taint conversation with bias when I'm trying to reach out!
Anyway,I was here, then gone, SO long, I'm practically new! Basically, I'm seeking what feels and is true!
Easier said than done,
when you're an INvoluntary skeptic..

My Favorite Spiritual Activities:
like to learn about world religions and take what bits from them inspire me with their positivity
,
as well as look for unifiying threads between them and Christianity
,
in an ultimate search to find a better Christian "home" for myself...and meet people!
Who I'm Praying For:
Right now
,
my mother
,
a hero who has saved my life many times over but has been fighting to survive for months now
,
and now needs help to recover to a state she'd want to live in.
Also
,
a special friend
,
who lost her sibling suddenly at too young an age
,
and whom was also a good friend of mine.
For the peace and happiness of my Great-Aunt who passed away last night at 104 after a mostly lonely widowed life wherein she lost both her sons tragically young.
When life is NOT crazy
,
I pray for my friends
,
family
,
myself
,
and everyone suffering in this world
,
(or even those causing that suffering - when I can bear to pray those prayers.)
Who Inspires Me:
Inspirations are:
1.)Truly good people who have the courage to stand up for what they believe in
,
because it's true and good
,
- but NOT those pugnacious
,
stubborn
,
or superior people aligning themselves with a political agenda
,
rather people with a deeply held personal one
,
if any
,
that comes after much thought throughout life
,
and is changed if any more just or more true thing that needs acknowledgement challenges it.
I think this is the search of most people today
,
though we always slip up.
2. Because of the reactionary state of the world today
,
which I hate
,
I'm not naming any leaders here right now
,
re: religion or politics.
But artists and musicians - like Mozart
,
the Impressionists
,
Pre-Raphaelites
,
medieval painters and illuminators
,
have provided us SO much innocent
,
yet powerful inspiration every day that remains underrated
,
yet because it reminds us the world can still be glorious or even holy
,
they've kept us alive
,
urging us to live in peace even at the worst of times
,
with the beauty they create!
Those people are unsung heroes!
Tell Us More About Your Faith:
right now
,
just trying to find it
,
and survive!
I was born and baptised into a Christian church
,
but while very young
,
my family moved on to another church. Personally
,
I still miss the first one for both personal and religious/"political" reasons
,
but not for lack of good people in the other church either!
