Thanks, nihil. I almost held off the submit button. It's not the sort of thing you spread around, they tend to lock you up. But to say it in other words, from your talk on faith and all.. my relationship with the goddess is the most important one in my life. I don't think about it much, I don't question it. It's just been there for as long as I can remember. She won't send me to hell. At worst she'll talk me to death. Or not talk to me at all. That's worse. And the strength I draw from her doesn't diminish my personal strength. There are some things I had to do all my own, I just knew she'd be there if I made it and give my a decent burial if I didn't. But I can't separate myself from my faith. They're one in the same. Yeah, all of it, and all of anyone's beliefs in gods and such, could be created by us, for us. But I've felt it, felt her. In the wind, in the touch of grass, in someone lying next to me. So powerful and pervasive I couldn't, wouldn't, think it was anything but her. But people are different. If they don't try and squash me, or take her away from me, we get along fine.
If you think me unreasonable, that's fine. I've never had a lover who didn't think the same thing. <g> |
