of the spirit - not of the spirit. For many it is easy. OF

Intentionally mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, social.

If I am mental (spell Mississippi and meteorology correctly) is that what people do?
If I am physical (eat few sugars and walk five miles a week) is that what people do?
If I am emotional (decide to see the happy side) is that what people do?
If I am social (deeply listen - no talking- to loved ones) is that what people do?
If I am spiritual (have a deep, abiding, satisfying faith in an instantly available connecting power) is that what people do?

Do people name that power God and realize a billion other souls have done the same. They have even named God thirteen hundred years ago. Can all of us be wrong? Deep abiding faith. Is it possible for that deep abiding faith to come without God?

"Faith is an oasis in the heart which can never be reached by the caravan of thinking." - - Kahlil Gibran

or dale's poor summation: "The depth of who we are is not in our red heart that beats, but in the depth of who we are. A place where science tries to accept or refute but those who know just know."
