O World Invisible, We View Thee

[poliphilo]

I haven't done any religion since I walked away from church. There's a baptism coming up. I said I'd go to that and take photos. Ailz is being godmother so I need to lend support.

As I just wrote in a comment on someone else's journal, I can't rest easy inside anyone else's system. Draw lines around me and the thing that interests me most will be the thing that lies outside them.

And yet, in a general sort of a way, my faith has never been so strong. Now that I no longer believe in God my belief in God is unshakeable.

I'm at that place too. I "lapsed" earlier this year and attended our local church for three or four months. By the end of that time I was close to nervous breakdown- so I quit.

I'm not keen on the word "faith" either. I used it because I couldn't think of a better one.

Perhaps I need to think of a better one. What we have to say is inexpressible- but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

Trying is half the fun, wouldn't you agree?

I privately wondered how long you'd last with your religious 'relapse'. Should have started a betting pool! Glad you're better now. For me, it's gotten to where I cannot even stand to be at a public Pagan event when they're doing a Circle- and I'm anywhere near it. Don't even ask me to join it. The mental "Oh, no, you don't!" starts up if I even attempt to approach it- even accidentally.

I think I need to write more about "spirituality". It will be a challenge doing so without leaning too heavily on an inherited- and degraded- vocabulary.

I haven't done anything in the Pagan community for years.
