Amen to that,it is my sanctuary as well ('The serene depth of the forest ') but as you wrote above each has free will to worship any way they want...personally I can think of no better sanctuary that the bare open sky and lushness of greenery around me ,many of the worlds greatest prophets chose the mountaintops and outdoors to preach or just meditate in so as to refuel inner-peace.Your poem is very refreshing.I loved it.

Note: This is not meant as a slur against any religion, yes Margureitte, I was born, Christianed, babtised, and confirmed itno the RC religion. I was also an alter boy for many years and had even considered and wrote to a seminary for a while contemplating becoming a priest. Unfortunately my own personal experiences with the church changed my way of thinking but I believe we all should worship how we see fit...

I'm with you Fee! Your heart is speaking volumes here...I was born and raised Catholic and that taught me to have NO use for organized religion....I could tell you nightmare stories about priests and how the church favoured the rich! But I won't.....I simply know God hears me wherever I speak to Him! And I've spoken to him in natures arms most of my adult life. I LOVED this one, Fee....it's a keeper!

Hugs,
Anna

There are many places to find GOD That is just one of them We find Him 'Body, Soul and Spirit' in The Eurchrist in the Catholic Church.

A gift indeed, that I wish many more still appreciated today. Like you, I can think of no better place to worship than in the church of the hallowed wood.

I love this, Felix.
I especially like "Blue-jays, robins and wrens are the choir of choice/ The music of a breeze through the leave's accompaniment"
This is wonderful writing and so very refreshing ~

Good write Felix
Those are my same sentiments
I believe my house is my temple
where I can pray an honor
The God and his Son
I feel free conversing with the all mighty
Wherever I am
Peace be with you
