Spiritual Adventures

What! You think God doesn’t have adventures, that He/She is serious all the time?! Creating this wonderful world of ours would have been a huge adventure: laughing inwardly while thinking about how to make men and women so completely different from each other that most communication will be ridiculous, imagining all the weird and wonderful creatures and putting this huge jigsaw puzzle together!

The search for our own spirituality cannot be a chore or duty, otherwise it is pointless. How then, to turn it into an adventure! What does this word connote?

Excitement – learning to ‘know’ God instead of ‘know about’ God

Exploration – try on different spiritual hats, not just what you were taught as a child

Get out of comfort zone – it isn’t always comfortable to look at our beliefs to see if they really hold true, to leave that steady but boring job, to let go those things that no longer serve us well

Joy of discovery – when we find that little pearl of wisdom, that beautiful song lyric, that meme (google it – cool word) someone passed along – yeehaa!

Get on out there. Have fun on your spiritual path. Bring joy to the table every day. Try on new ideas, new strategies, new friends, new experiences. Go crazy!

Life is short – eat dessert first!

Love, peace and wisdom

PS Happy Birthday Calm Space!

    Thank you Annie. As always, you’re words challenge me to think.

    I’ve been getting out of my comfort zone a lot lately, letting go a lot of stuff It’s been creating a lot of space for new and wonderful discoveries, and I have realised from reading your wise words that one thing I do want to do is more of that exploring of different “spiritual hats”. Thank you for helping me realise that.

Got something to say?
