I am a
happily married broad of a particular age who lives in
a rural mountain community on the edge of the El
Dorado National Forest. Grizzly Flats was once a
thriving mining town (think "Deadwood"), but is now a
quiet, remote town with a few hundred year-round
residents and several city folks with a country home
up here where they come to rough it a few times a
year. No more saloons or hotels or livery stables,
just an unmanned fire station, a 2 room schoolhouse, a
ranger station and a post office.
It's heaven.
I am a
writer and webmaster. I am also a monkey & bear
technician and a student of life and the world around
us.
I deeply
honor all religions and whatever (harming none) path
others use to reach God and their most sacred selves.
I completely reject the premise that there is one
path/ one religion that "fits all" and is the "right"
one. Just as people speak in different languages to
one another, I believe God also speaks to us in
different languages. God knows us well enough to
understand that our spirits vibrate on different
levels and must be accessed in different ways with
different words and practices.
