Spirituality Revisited

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” –Albert Einstein
I have always avoided the subject of spirituality in my blogs until lately. I told myself, why not? There are many things to be told about spirituality regardless of religion or faith.

What I understand: No matter how you want to evade the issues of spirit and faith, and convinced yourself that you are an atheist, an agnostics or a pragmatist, the fact does not change –you are a spiritual being. You will always find in yourself the desire to connect with someone or with something that is higher than you are. The seeking is innate and sometimes uncontrollable. It is always there to nag you that you have to find and trust this higher power and seek your rest from and in it.

I have avoided church for quite some time now but my hunger for spiritual fulfillment continues to disturb me. It begs me to feed it. It forces me to acknowledge my helplessness so that I can begin living with faith again. However, how?
