You are always welcome here and never obligated to if you desire not to.
I went to a sweat lodge and met some elderly men and women from all races and beliefs. It was wonderful to sit in a Talking Circle. This thread reminds me of a Talking Circle.

That feeling of peace and harmony and the understanding that comes with it was simply beautiful. In today's world it is to be savored to say the least.

Good point


-----a friend not made is a lost friend. It is always sad to loose a friend, even if they are lost before accepting friendship.

Since becoming agnostic/atheist I have found myself void of any spiritual philosophy. I’ve found contentment/spirituality when out in nature. This seems like a nice place to visit.

Nature is where all things begin and some seem to end - though appearances can be deceiving.

And yes, the circle is one of fellowship, and is a good place to be.

Platitudes will never conceal the distinction between spiritualism and spirituality.

There's fresh coffee and some tea brewing in the red pot. It's a good night where I am. Loons are calling to each other and crickets are beginning their night song. The lake is calm.


Am I smelling cornbread muffins?

Welcome. Anytime is the right time for the circle. Or it wouldn't have lasted 6K+ posts.
