I've always found God in sunlight and water rather than trees and dirt

Thinking about stone temples and shrines to the goddesses just out in nature somewhere. Being able to visit them and pray and leave offerings...

On the Waves II by Sue Schlabach

Now that it's summer I can feel myself drawn to activities that are on a higher frequency. Dance, art, music, preparing food and connecting to what's real. Also, putting effort into looking nice, something that in my pagan days I didn't consider sacred or holy because I saw it as unnatural (along with most purely human activities and instincts that we don't share with our animal counterparts). I've never felt more connected to the Divine than when I started seeing our humanity as divine. I feel nothing but love for the natural world, animals, and nature worship itself. But I realize that in doing what I thought was 'going back to the basics' and spiritually valuing only that which came directly from nature, I denied myself the one thing I wanted: a spiritual relationship with the Goddess, the gods, and other people

Love is neither attraction nor attachment. Love is bloodied evidence.
