I wrote about something similar recently, that I recognized God in the blazing and singing night sky of Death Valley, in the soft warm breezes of the daytime desert, on a trail beneath redwoods with leaves crunching under my feet. That *is* God for me.

Very nice, I wish I could grasp my own version of god - I am just not there... maybe not ready yet.

Wonderful entry.

I feel closest to my Higher Power when I am floating on the sea. Peering over the edge of the hull, seeing what lives beneath. I feel so connected to the earth when I sit in a kayak, breathing, looking, alive.

I like the image of you going to the Geology department and looking at the fossils and rocks. Science touched you where music didn't. I am touched by nature and by music and by art. So many things are filled with God or have his hand on them. And people do also. Thanks for a great post.

Well said. One of your greatest gifts is the gift of words - your are able to piece them together in a way that encompasses the thoughts and feelings of all people.

Lovely images. I realize I am blessed to find the Divine in both music and writing, and in the rituals of the religion I grew up with. So many sources of connection.

Our image of God - overlapping but not identical - won't be the same as anyone else's. Some of those people asking you about recovery without God will find something they call God; some will find their lodestone in the connection with a group or another person or with nature and choose not to call it God.

Thank you for sharing that. I'm still in a place of deep despair and anger and I hope that I will find my way.
