This post is mostly about respecting where a person is in their belief system. Rather it be belief in God or not. “We all have the right to believe what ever we want” communicates a passenger this past Saturday. After asking him if he believes in God he stated that he cannot rap his head around the concept of God. I agreed with the comment “neither can I.” As we proceeded to his destination he started talking about his ankle and how he injured it during a party the night before. We also talked about the condition of our society and how people just don’t care about each other. To quote his words: People just don’t give a s……. about each other these days. I don’t recall how we got on that subject, but my comment to him was I care about him and wanted to say a prayer concerning his ankle being healed giving him relief while at work. In addition I testified about my experience with the healing of my body, stating that God can heal him. He agreed to accept the prayer, I prayed and he thanked me as he got out the car. My guess is he’s searching and wants to connect with God and others. People are hurting out there and searching for answers to their problems, situations and circumstances. You can’t tell that by looking at them, sometimes you have to engage them.

I enjoyed you commentary, Les. In my work nationally and internationally I have found opportunities to learn and understand many cultures and their beliefs. One thread holds true in my mind as I look back at that work over the last 50 years:
True spirituality is free of patterns of organization; it is in every individual and personal in nature. The potential to realize it exists in every human mind. I see it in my work and principally in nature. I attempt to capture it in photography.

True that Ken, I am understanding more and more of the importance of being, instead of doing to be recognized or get attention. I did not say i have perfected its. It’s becoming clearer and clearer to me the fact that we as individuals benefit when we recognize what’s inside us without someone telling us what we need to do.
