well well well...
Gez I thought a month was a long time since blogging. This has been probably one of the strangest periods of my life... possibly.
Mel and I have found ourselves in a strange place spiritually. Our uneasy feeling was partly given voice by a beautiful book called; "The Education of Little Tree." It was truely wonderful. A simple story about a small cherokee boy who at 5 goes and lives with his Cherokee grandparents. It spoke to me about a spirituality that I long to have, one that is grounded, engaged and active with the cyclic world that God placed me within. In this though a new journey has started in finding 'religious' actions which lead us towards God and others. A journey that I hope to come from the very depths of me. One that I don't want to start, but one that I'm keen to kick off.
It is interesting what consumes me though, Even though my pursuit is for God, anger and work and general life gets well in the way, the fight for God continues to get drowned out by busy tasks.
ahhhh - not going to proof read just post this sucka it's time to go shopping and I'm running late.

Dude I'm interested to hear your ideas about 'spirituality'. It's not really a term I understand in a Christian context - for me its a word that has new age connotations. What do you mean when you say 'spirituality'?
Cheers,
I have to describe the ebbs and flows of life. I think that the ebbs and flows are the areas that I struggle to see God the most. It's in these times that I either go from depression to anxiety. Neither is helpful. I want to develop a stillness of my soul. I don't want to have to stop and let my spirit and soul catch up to me at the end of each day. I also wonder (correctly or not) about the need to learn from the 'new age'? I want to have an understanding, if not just a small glimpse of how to live holistically. I see that developing spirituality as key to that.
Come back and blog sometime soon. We miss you.
