Religion

For me religion must have a solemnity, a heft like towering cliffs, places of silence and the majesty of sunsets. Religion must be big enough to hold vast forests, extend beyond the furthest galaxy and yet be small enough to fit inside a seed. For me religion must have a veil of mystery like clouds that conceal a mountain's height, like music that moves the soul without the listener knowing why and the sublime in poetry. Religion must be kind and caring and contain something greater than the self. For me, religion must not divide or promise life through exclusivity, but be a way of making whole and to give thanks for creation to whatever or whoever you believe that to be.
