Spirituality is very important in my life. I hope to discover and share alternatives to mainstream religions. My way of looking at Spirit is similar to the folk story about the blind men and the elephant. Each man described his part of the elephant, one at the tail said the animal was like a snake, another at the leg described a tree trunk. Each man had a piece of the puzzle, yet none was able to describe the whole.
Creation is like that, so great that no one description can do it justice.
I am also interested in various approaches to our mental health. I have been dually diagnosed with depression and upon reflection can see what part that has played in my past addictions. There are a variety of theories having to do with our sense of self and our relationships with others which can be helpful on the journey of recovery. Used under License.
