A friend says she’s discontent with organized religion of all types–even the “believe in what you will” kind of churches.  She really wishes that we could all just talk about how we can make our lives better and help the world be better.

What is better, I wonder?  I see the religions define this to the dismay of many others in the community.  Is the fight for the unborn better?  Especially when they are then brought up in horrifying conditions?  Is the insistence upon a specific dogma–even if it means our “salvation” really improving the world when you have to kill people to impress upon them the urgency?  Not really sure.

For me today it is opening my heart so the Light inside of it can shine out.  It is feeling the real warmth in every cell of my body that declares the soft tingling of the Divine One at my neck, whispering sweet nothings in my ear.  This, truly, is better.
