Why I Went Back

[poliphilo]

I didn't go back to church for God. Or not exactly. I went back for the people.

God... people....maybe it comes to much the same thing. Anyway, the fact is I didn't have enough people in my life .

People are God in his/her most challenging manifestation.

I'd been limiting my contact with people after the Wicca experience. That hadn't ended well- and along the way there had been lots of hurt- given and received.

I don't apologize for sitting in my cave for a while. It was the right thing to do at the time.

But this is the right thing to do now.

When I, Zarathustra like, have spent time in a cave and feel the need for people I go straight back into pubs - there you experience the entire spectrum; rich, poor, professional, unemployed, educated, self-educated, uneducated, bores, poets, artists, bastards, losers, gamblers, story-tellers, comedians, liars, and I dare say you would find exactly the same in a church, so perhaps you have made the right choice, as I dare say what you leave in the collection plate is nowhere near what I find I deposit in the till!

People are people wherever you find them. If I've gone back to church- rather than down the pub- it's because it's the culture I feel most comfortable with.

Exactly. It does not matter what alter we choose to worship at, the congregation will always be the same - looking at the stars or not, we are all susceptible to the same failings.
