About Me
I believe in beauty, the natural law, spirtual growth, life as a process for enlightenment and that the threads of truth may be found in all religions, but the whole is contained by none. Life is a wonderful beautiful jumble of contradictions. I believe that "church" exemplfies man and contains both the best and worst of that which distinguishs humans. I am distrustful of organized religous groups, but recognize the power of a community of faith to do great good (big contradictions here). The shading of all that is life is what gives it depth of meaning. I often glimpse the loving gaze of spirit shining up at me from my dog's eyes.
