I'm a believer in a higher power, a power greater than myself, but I'm infinitely more spiritual than religious. Through the lens of my belief system, I search to find meaning in life and what matters most to me. I search for inner peace and harmony. Spirituality, I feel is... a deeper connection with God a celebration of life; the spiritual path that makes the most sense to me. I maintain my spiritual equanimity by... being centered in myself, being grateful for big and small blessings, being fully present in the here and how, being one with nature, appreciating it's breathtaking beauty. Some prefer to reach God through prayer, some prefer to do so through doing good for others. I do much more of the latter. That's how I retain my connection with God. My spirituality is the doorway to my peace of mind. A Poem Honoring Spirituality Poetry Contest. (Winner 3rd Place) Sponsored by: Caren Krutsinger Date written: 04/26/2020

I agree with you that faith/spirituality is much more important than religion, especially when the later is dogmatic and judgemental [as seen in both some believers and some atheists]. I probably do more prayer than 'good', but I suspect you're a better person-- congrats Edward on your win!

Nicely said Edward glad to read you today! Many have been put off by many religions scandals, but it's good to see you have not given up on God. It's a good thing to highlight spirituality, it is sorely lacking in this secular world!
