I'm not a particularly religious person, I'm not religious at all actually. And I don't want to jump on the "spiritual" bandwagon but that definitely is the best way to describe it. I feel like I went shopping for spirituality and took a little something from every religion. I believe in karma and dharma and yin-yang and the golden rule and the ten commandments and that there is a Higher Power up there... but that's where I stop.
The reason I bring this up is because I had a long talk with my suitemate about religion the other day. She's Muslim, but her mother was Catholic and supposed to convert when they married, but never really did... My suitemate was confused as to what religion she was because she doesn't agree with everything Islam stands for, and after 9/11 she was scared to say she was Muslim. Regardless we had a long talk about how we're both more spiritual and would rather not label ourselves a certain religion.
I also started thinking about how much I liked Taoism when I was learning about it. The circular pattern of life was just the most positive outlook I could have imagined. That after a really bad time you will come into a really good time in your life. And that really pleased me. But right now, right this second, "I am completely, and perfectly, and incandescently happy". To the point that I am terrified of what's going to come along and screw this up. I am so afraid of losing this feeling..I don't know what to do that will comfort me.
