I know that spiritual
connections do not necessarily mean religious connections. I’m ambiguous about
church membership. I need to define what I deeply want. I feel homesick for a
place I’ve never been, nostalgic for events that didn’t happen, lonely for
people I have not met. New feelings are roiling around looking for an outlet or
at least a name. Pace around. Feel needy. I want peace and belonging. Is this
the chaos that comes just before clarity?
Hi sweetie. From my iPad at home. I loved your blog today and yesterday.
The questions of meaning, where to find it, how to go deeper. Tomorrow at Friends of Jung we're exploring our spiritual practices, however we define that. Wish you were close enough to be part of this exciting conversation. It's Jungian, your quest for meaning. This thought was that this is the natural quest of folks of a certain age.
We recommended to the group Robert Johnson's Inner Work. Megan probably can snag you a copy at her bookstore. It's got a Jungian approach to spiritual practices, like dreamwork, ritual, amplification of dream images.
I know what you mean by the challenges of church. I want to be deeply reached and touched there — community not committee. Seems like most church language is about committee and "what have you done for me lately?"
It was in my church, the UU Fellowship, where the service did just what I needed and I surrendered to the knowledge I had to retire this year -- or die.
Anyhow, I continue to love your blog.
And you.
