well that's really what it's all about, isnt it?
i play chess, and there's a saying that "having a bad strategy is better than having no strategy". with that in mind, i like to hear that people are exploring their spiritual side, whether that's via zen, christianity, wicca, or a personally developed philosophy for living.
i'd happily share my discoveries, and as i listen to theirs, put my own spin on their experiences, to help me understand it and perhaps change my thinking as well.
the important thing, tho, is that they're (we're) searching.
excellent explanation, btw. [img]smile.gif[/img]

after the
the tao of pooh, i'd add
zen flesh, zen bones to my must read list.
and, along with tao and zen, native american teachings lie close to my heart.
black elk speaks is the foundational work
fool's crow is perhaps the greatest native american shaman to ever live. and this work is truly beautiful.
Fools Crow: wisdom and power
and, finally, ed mcgaa is my favourite writer about beliefs and ceremonies. his two best, imo are
native wisdom and
mother earth spirituality
cheers yourself
