XO

33. Do you feel connected to nature?
Yes. I feel it by way of the colors, and sounds and smells.
The Sunshine and the Moon glow. Water, Earth, and Air.
I also feel it when I think of the growth process of a seed. Plant a seed, it grows a fruit, you eat the fruit and replant the seed, and it grows another plant, which will bear more fruit. Who but God could have dreamed up something like that?
And I love animals. When animals trust you it means something...you can see it in their eyes.  Animals trust me not to harm them.

34. Do you feel loved by nature?
Yes. By hearing birdsong through the open window, feeding the Squirrels, Hummingbirds and Finches at my feeders, flowers thriving in my newly weeded gardens, hearing YAHWEH in the sound of the ocean waves, the smell of plants and flowers, the feel of good loamy soil in my hands, 70 degree days, cloud patterns, soft pattering rain, the delicate lace pattern of a single snowflake, a soft breeze ruffling the leaves, cool green grass under my feet, the way lake water feels like silk, Autumn leaves, the unmistakable smell of rain, the vast number of different types of trees- for food or shelter or shade.

35. How do you feel connected to God, Spirit or the Divine?
By listening to praise and worship music. By puttering around in my garden, going to church, reading my daily devotionals. I suppose that would be how I stay connected to God.
How do I feel connected to God tho??? By coincidental happenings. Too many times to count. Too many times for it to NOT count, get it?  I feel and see Gods hand in everything. I don't understand how He can condone it or use it or let happen all of the awful things I see in this world. But I believe there is a better place, that we don't truly belong here, that this world is the place where we learn the lessons we're supposed to learn. I believe in heaven. I believe the body dies but the Soul goes on.
