Well, we live on different continents yet we have met each other on a virtual level (if not in person. But you don’t know what yet may happen?), and I believe this; when I was at a very low point in my life, I sort refuge and solace from the Catholic Church. My mother is catholic but my father is an atheist so I was never introduced to the church as a child. Over my education and introduction to the church, I had to attend weekly meetings with the Canon of the Church, a fascinating man who had been to the Vatican for many years, and he explained the origins of Catholicism, the viewpoints of the faith and the spiritual practices that were practiced. I was then open to accept them and take them into my life, or not. I did accept these beliefs and attitudes towards life and I was confirmed as a member of the Catholic Church. But, I haven’t been to church for a long time now, I find appreciation of God and prayer is a very individual thing, I just don’t feel comfortable being in a congregation that is praying too as I personally prefer to pray before bed, I have a crucifix on my wall, and I say my prayers nightly to that. Sometimes I can spend 30 seconds, sometimes 5 minutes. I feel more connected this way. Just because I don’t go to church doesn’t mean I’m any less dedicated to my God. One thing I was told in my teachings with the Canon, was about beginning and end. He said we believe there is a start and a finish. So much so, we think everything has to have a beginning and an end. We’re born, we die. So was birth born from something? Will death die? We have become understanding of science and we have proclaimed that the first rule of thermodynamics is that energy can’t be created or destroyed, only transferred, so where does our energy go when we, according to us, die? So many unanswered questions about life we have created ourselves that seem ignored. Anyway, I digress and I’ve gone on far too long but the point I was trying to make is that we have crossed paths via the internet and the world of connecting people with the comprehensible ease of like buying a pint of milk, you choose to follow me, and likewise I have you, because we both evidentially enjoy seeing what each other has to say. I know we exchanged a few messages, and you’re extremely cute, but you know how it is, different continents and all that 😂, but you and I keep conversing and talking and you never know, it could be the start of a trans-Atlantic love story 😘😉👍
