So, you sense the creator in nature, too. I like the randomness of it all. No plan, just survival of the fittest. We are the ultimate survivors and the earth, in all its beauty is our womb and our nest.

Ahhhhhhh... you've spoken for me, too, and beautifully, Eddie M. Indeed, to worship at the altar of Mother Nature is to have life's joys at hand always... and our downfalls, and its yin/yang... all of life can be celebrated and mourned and glorified and discovered wherever we are, not in a building... NO! Nature IS God. Thank you for reading my mind and writing it here. Sigh... katy xox

Ed,

It doesn't matter where you are you're heard. Preference is only a state of mind. Love your thought of wisdom.

If this be the case, one worships creation, surly it is the creator to be worshiped.
You can't drive your jeep, less someone made it first..Heresy Ed.

On the pyre you go. Any excuse to keep us Eskimos warm...

Ed, this is Divine! I totally agree with you. A building is just a building, but God's spirit is everywhere! Nature is evident of His Glory!

All we need is the open sky,
A field of flowers, salt air and sandy beach,
Tall redwoods or short pines,
Any type of tree or bush will do just fine,

Amen, Brother! And I truly wish more felt the same - then maybe more of we humans would respect Mother Nature.

I agree and some of them are conducted on a river boat or in the open air. I am glad that you were inspired. I sometimes think that the people who know the most about the wisdom and workings of God never had their name entered on a church roll.
