Spirituality

The question was: What's a moment that defined spirituality for you?

I think it's several moments...my favorite quote is - we're all just spiritual beings having a human experience. Spirituality evokes a feeling of being connected. When I write, my heart, soul and mind are immersed in that moment - feeling the energy and completeness of who I am. Defining in it doesn't do it justice, it's really about the feeling - the connection. Outside, surrounded by nature and at that moment being totally aware of the beauty that surrounds us to a connection of energy that is greater. Spirituality is on-going, it's growth, it is the journey. Spirituality happens when you can just "be" and connect to those around you, to your environment, to the task at hand or to your soul purpose in that moment. Allowing yourself to believe in the possibilities and feel vulnerable at the same...not knowing is okay, not having all the answers, not doing anything but sitting still. Spirituality is prayer. Spirituality is love. Spirituality is truth. Questioning. Reflecting. Searching. Believing. Spirituality touches my soul. It makes me stronger. I notice the little things. I feel compassion. I'm understanding. Spirituality is taking a little bit of everything on your journey.
