Before I can begin seeking spirituality I need to answer a question - 'What does spirituality mean to me?' If my life were a movie a question like that would be answered by a montage scene or with a road trip, but as I don't have a film crew to hand, and as I can't drive, I'll have to find my answer in a more old fashioned way.
What does spirituality mean? What definitions have people given to it already
spir·i·tu·al·i·tyRight... that was helpful. What does it mean to be spiritual then?
noun
The state, quality, manner, or fact of being spiritual
spir·i·tu·alFine... and what is the nature of spirit?
adj.
Of, relating to, consisting of, or having the nature of spirit
spir-itAlright, maybe I'm doing this wrong! Maybe instead of looking at other people's definitions of Spirituality I should define it for myself. What is it that I'm looking for in this quest for spirituality?
noun.
A strong distilled alcoholic liquor.
SpiritualityIt's a sloppy definition I'll admit, but then there's a reason I don't work for the Oxford English Dictionary, the main reason being that it would probably be a really boring job. Not much chance of finding spirituality there.
noun. adj.
- The experience of powerful, and beautiful, emotions
- A feeling of connection, even entanglement, with other people, with nature, and with the universe
- The creation, and appreciation, of beauty in all its forms.
And so with the challenge laid out, the quest can begin. Let's go find some spirit. And when we're done drinking that, we can go find some spirituality.
What are your definitions of Spirituality? Is there anything I've missed?
