I have no idea what's out there or up there. I know what's in here, though. *points to heart* I could be wrong, whatever, but I think what folks are looking for when they go out there looking for "god" is some kind of peace, some kind of answer to everything... It's not out there. Not for me anyway. One doesn't have to go to a church to get peace or answers. Okay, call me a hippie, call me a kook, but... It's always been my personal experience that when I start looking for peace outside myself, looking for someone or some thing to bring me peace or serenity, or if I go out there searching and searching for the answers, it messes with me and I get chaotic, frustrated, anxious, pissed, etc. Nature is my answer. The wind, fire, water, earth, critters, stars, moon, sun, art... When I finally shut my fucking brain up, let go of my ego, just observe my surroundings in silence, become quiet and still, listen to myself breathe, and listen to my heartbeat, all the answers eventually trickle in. Like magic. I can look at and talk to the earth, sky, trees, a leaf, a flower, baby RJ, a cat, a fucking feather, or even a cloud...and it's like I'm being spoken to by something Divine, but the voice or message comes from within my heart or spirit. All I gotta do is listen. Sometimes I forget to listen. Then the Universe smacks me upside the head again and reminds me I am loved and that everything is gonna be alright. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. I'm a fucking hippie.
