Spirituality is one of those words that has a certain dictionary meaning, but also carries with it personal meaning for each individual.
Spirituality is NOT a religion...nor does not contradict religion....or even atheism for that matter. There are both atheists who read this and those of deep faith in various religions. If you choose to interpret the things I write in terms of a specific religion, that is fine...but it is not necessary.
The English word "spirit" comes from the Latin "spiritus" which means breath!
Spirituality has to do with the search for answers to questions about....
- Why am I here?
- Who am I?
- Where is true meaning?
Within that awareness, it is about choosing behaviors, rather than reacting out of habitual patterns and.......... becoming more of who you truly are.
To me personally, it is about living the best life I can ....but NOT about doing that with perfection.

Thank you for your wisdom. I have just finished a book about spirituality, I spent 22 years writing. Reading some of your blogs, I am delighted to find a kindred spirit. What more can I say than that you have spoken the words I would like to share with the world.
I have been contemplating my own web site, but I would find it difficult not to repeat what you are thinking and writing.
Being well advanced in my years I would be delighted if you could find the time to help me with some questions I have about setting up my own web site. Much of what I read about blogging is terminology I do not understand. Once again, thank you for your positive writing. At this point I want to remain private which I hope you understand. You may contact my email tophil739@yahoo.com.au
