Of course! In typical UU fashion, I draw rituals from everywhere, but anything that celebrates God is a good thing.Is there any form of worship in your walk?
Hmmmm.... I'd probably have to go with the puzzle itself.What are your most treasured aspects of your faith?
My theophany and my son.In general, what inspires you most?
What do you mean "in the world?"do you still have some faith left in the world?
I'm actually not. Second only to my belief in God is my belief that no one knows what that means, myself included. I have no problem at all throwing something out if it stops making sense.Why are you so sure about your beliefs?
What do you mean "in the world?"
Depends on the day. Usually, yes.sorry, you're right, that didn't make sense. basically, do you have faith in humanity? do you believe that in the end, the good of humanity will prevail? in your opinion, does world peace stand a chance? or are we just doomed, doomed, doomed?
Thank you!I haven't paid attention to panentheism, but, I felt like I needed to read your OP. I found a sort of comfort in your post as I can relate to much of it in an unexpected way - particularly kaleria, the bright shadow and the interconnectedness of things.
It's always been challenging to explain to my mother that I feel closer to God when I'm alone, on my front porch and just listen...there's something amazing about the way people are connected, in unsaid ways. I've experienced this first hand in profound ways and its challenging to discuss with other people sometimes.
To be inspired by what you've posted is lovely.
There isn't really one I can point to. It's not a religion, but a base theological concept, and there are many, many interpretations.If you were to recommend a book or a resource on panentheism, which would it be?
There are so many places I'd like to see.... right now, I'd go with Japan.1. If you could anywhere in the world that you haven't been before, where would it be and why?
The mesa ranges in central Texas, especially at sunset.2. What is the most beautiful place you've ever seen?
Too many to list.3. What is the one song that just makes you want to get up and get crazy with it? (We all have one of those. )
[youtube]Vt2CEfrAonw[/youtube]4. What song evokes so much emotion when you hear it, it breaks your heart every time, not because you relate to it personally, but because it's just that beautiful?
Nature, family, music, academia.5. Aside from your child, what else inspires you and makes your heart happy?
It can be difficult.Storm, how do you keep your sanity after having had moderated for so long?
