Spirituality:
To me the term ‘Spiritual’ represents the quest to perceive “The Divine, The Source, All That Is” or whatever else you want to call the all permeating creative intelligence that holds together whatever true reality actually is…… To me, Spirituality is a celebration of the great cosmic (Taiji) cycles of birth, death and renewal. It centers around a reverence for all life..and the innate balance found in nature and the cosmos.
