I've never been drawn to religiion. Even as a little girl sitting in the pews in my Sunday best, the sermons just didn't make much sense to me. I did however search most of my adult life for that 'je ne sais quoi', that undefinable something that we know is there, just slightly out of reach, calling us into something grander ... the mystical awesomeness of LIFE.
That something grander pretty much refuses to be defined, goodness knows I've tried. But every time I think I've got it, it morphs again into something more and new all over again. If there's one thing that's clear to me now, it's that God / Source / Creator / the Universe / the Infinite, whatever names we give it, is pretty much indefinable. My wish for the world is that organised religions would stop pigeon-holing it into set boxes of belief that keep us from that incredible adventure of limitless discovery when worshipping at the infinite altar of LIFE!
I had this wonderful conversation yesterday with a friend about how we see the difference between God / Source / Creator and LIFE. For me, those first terms imply the Originator of all Life ... the Creator of Creation if you will. The latter term, LIFE, for me implies a Force which emanates from that Originator designed to ...
Me, I am in love with LIFE, every facet of it ... its limitless energy, its awesome wonders, its mystical callings. I love being alive in a body doing the grandest work I can possibly imagine, all in a partnership with the Originator of Creation and the incredibly vibrant Force of LIFE!
Personally, I hope we never stop unfolding new understandings of these mystical forces, unlocking the mysteries of the Infinite and finding our way into our own godness as Life creators. Here's to a world enchanted by the adventures on offer in an infinite universe of wonder and awe! Here's to worshipping at the infinite altar of LIFE!

- imbue everything with high vitality -- the energy that makes the grass grow greener and forests thrive wildly untamed,
- quicken and sustain our infinite being in physical bodies,
- stream the infinite intelligence of the universe through us and
- offer us the opportunity to touch the mystical and embody godness.
