This week Tina of Travels and Trifles has given us the challenge of Spiritual Sites.For me these are not churches or places of worship. For me they are on the back of my horse on a trail in the forest. There is quiet and only the sound of some birds singing . My cares slip off my shoulders and it is here that I feel the nearest to my maker. I am not now nor have I ever been a religious person or a ‘church’ person.So spirituality will be found elsewhere for me.
“Awakening is not changing who you are, but discarding who you are not.” Deepak Chopra
You may recogize the photo above as one of my favorite trails. It is the “goat” trail. I have learned that these trails are what keeps me sane and this is where I understand my own spirituality.
“You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul”.” Swami Vivekananda
So this is my response to the Spiritual Sites challenge. Click here to see the photos that Tina selected for her challenge. She will take you around the world to her spiritual sites.
Once I get the all clear from my surgeon I will be back on these trails again. I hope it will only be a couple of weeks now.
