This website is about the value of love, spirituality, the potential of the mind-body connection and the connection with all things. These are my daily thoughts about my life, my feelings, and my spiritual journey. I post these "Daily Journals" on a regular basis, so please come back often to read my latest posting.

Understanding Is Not Required
In my recovery community, belief and reliance on a God of our own understanding is stressed, a flexibility that I understand and appreciate. I have a very close relationship and total reliance on a force or power I call God. However, I do not understand that power, cannot define it and I do not know its scope of influence and I am good with that. Part of my history is an extensive training in biological science on the way to gaining a Ph.D. During that training I learned that if I could name, define and understand some aspects of something, that understanding gave me a sense of control. I do not wish to impose that on my sense of God.
