I just want to talk about God, so why do negatives immediately come to mind? “No judgment.” “No strict dogma." In my attempt to describe All That Is, my first reaction is to contract. But behind that very Human-ness, is my need to understand infinite, unconditional compassion and love.

A whisper in my mind, “What if we are all right?”

What if all the forms of human spirituality are the languages of God? What if every tradition and religion speaks to some aspect of The Infinite Being? Our religious “homes”— the culture and traditions — can be the definitions, words and syntax that communicate directly with the Divine.

The rituals, services and holiday gatherings would reflect the foundation of the relationship — the day-to-day basics with the Divine. Do I feel supported and supportive in how I celebrate my Dear One? Does it bring out the best in me? Are my spiritual relationships helping me evolve into a more true, more loving version of myself?

Prayers, meditation and conversations with God mark the intimacy shared, the one-to-One connection. Am I truly open to allow the truth to be told and heard? Do I offer words of appreciation as often as I ask for what I want? Do we spend enough quiet moments, together, just holding one another?

I believe we are all right, which allows for the space to include, to listen, to expand our understanding and deepen the conversation. Acceptance is seeing beauty in every thing. One Divine aspect reflected in every human face.

I believe a life with more ‘and’ is a life with more God. And it makes me smile…because I am loved… and I love finding new ways to say, I love you to my Dear One.

What about you? Do you believe in God? How do you conversate with your Dear One? How does spirituality play a role in your day-to-day?
