Tailored Beliefs

I offer my story of reconciling absolute atheism with a passionate commitment to spiritual engagement in the form of Buddhist meditation and Twelve-Step recovery — including worship of a non-existent God compatible with my atheism — with the hope of providing inspiration for others to find creative, uncompromising spiritual paths that work for them.

Do I love writing about God more than I love God Herself?

It certainly seems that way.  God, please help me to focus on today, to truly feel, not just give lip service to the idea, that my normal life is great as it is, that I can contentedly live in communion with You and my family and the regular things I do, that I don’t need to turn the world upside down with this book or blog or whatever it is, that I don’t even need attract more than the one or two hits a day I’m getting now from friends doing me a personal favor.  I’m a little under the weather, I should be sleeping. Tell me what to do.  Delete this entry before posting it?  You know what I’m like, Ms. X.  Sometimes this is the only way I know of drawing near to You.
