When I breath in the smoke from my pipe, and then exhale it, it dissipates. This dissipation reminds me of my mortality, while the smoke invigorates ruminations upon the connectedness of all life.
to be gone, it has simply become integrated with the rest of the air. This reminds me
of the interconnectedness we all have with the past and the future.

Spirituality for me is the quiet, private stuff about my daily life that most people don't know about....
a candle that is lit in my home when I am there and awake that symbolizes the light of God to me...
the quick quiet prayers i say throughout my day as things happen
being aware of the beauty around me, the mountains, sea and sky
remembering to be grateful for all the big and small gifts in my world
wanting to be more like my dog who is fully present and in the moment
that quietness inside me, when the words and ideas stop swirling and I am serene and sufficent

The possibility that we all share atoms and molecules which were possibly once found in other living human beings, a star, dinosaur etc. I love the idea that we could all have been parts of each other at different points in the past and that I could be part Giant prehistoric Dragonfly 🙂
