In reply to Andy Heckathorne. I suppose we find things when we're ready for them. Part of having faith that God provides on a schedule not of our own design. I went back and read that post. A lot was going on in my life back then. And it showed in my writing.

In reply to Steve Williams. I appreciate the comments in this thread. Glad I happened upon it in 2020. Not sure it would have been as meaningful to me in 2016.

In reply to Brent. Wincing at the past. It happens for all of us I suppose. If you aren't wincing you probably aren't living which means demonstrating the normal human failings....

I do have similar conversations Steve. They are definitely with my best friend, myself and this really works well for me. It’s interesting and curious and fitting I suppose how I will reflect on something I did badly and wince at my decision. That happens quite a lot. I’m not the least bit religious but I like how you put it. On the Road and talking to God. The wincing is more often than not because I was young and stupid. It’s a reminder to be smarter and that is my goal along with having fun and being happy. I know after 60 years I am on a good road. I don’t wince about the recent decisions.

In reply to Steve Williams. It's probably best that you are considerate about others that way. I guess you have some responsibility on the blog because you have so many readers and they look to you not to unexpectedly push their buttons.

In reply to Paul.

I always find something valuable in the comments people choose to share. Talking about spiritual subjects can raise alarms, or at least I was concerned it would. There’s always a line I’m looking for when sharing in a blog post, a line between what’s public and what’s private. Hard to know where it is sometimes…

In reply to Melu.

While I sometimes sense myself part of something larger I can’t ascribe it to religion. Finding a spiritual connection has been something I’ve pursued in my own manner for a long time. Sometimes the path is clear and at others lost completely.

I’m glad you found something worth thinking about. Life is a grand journey isn’t it?

In reply to Karl Stumpf. Talking, expectation, listening and obeying. No easy roads there. Taking up a journey takes a leap of faith beyond those words which for many are problematic I bet. I read somewhere that the words aren't that important but rather the attitude in the heart is...

There are a lot of comments. It took awhile to read them all. It’s fun hearing how people look at their lives spiritually. I guess the way you talked about spiritual things left enough space for other people to express themselves and they felt safe that you wouldn’t judge them (and you didn’t).
