pre-4th of July GLS camping out

Is it when you are in nature that the meaning of life comes at you?

Perhaps, the vastness of the sky, the power of the sea, the wilderness of the living. After coming back from my camping trip, contemplation of life cometh.

In college, i studied religions of the world. i read books from spiritual leaders like Julian of Norwich, Thomas Merton, Thomas Aquinas, D. Lama and Jesus. i meditated on the existence of something greater than myself. i believed in re-incarnate and past life.

on the other hand, i majored in science, and refuted the existence of a greater being. if we cannot use our senses to observe, how can we prove it exist? i went into a biology course and out of gases and electricity produced single cell existence. we debated evolution vs creation.

Spirituality pertains to the spirit, to the religious. Morality is a code of conduct based on values such as honesty, fairness, non lying, non stealing, non cheating.

in high school, i learnt that we are called to act justly, to love tenderly with others and ourselves, and to walk humbly with our Creator. we are feminists, active conscionable objectors, and peaceful civil disobedience activist for those weaker than us, those who have no voice.

my weekend ended with no conclusion. so i settled into the nite as the fireworks were set off, and all i did was kiss the ones i loved.
