I am coming to the understanding that life is spiritual even though god does not exist in my estimation, and spiritual despite my inner Humanist’s aversion to the religious pedigree of the term. My emerging humanist spirituality, if you will, is an attempt to find that somewhat tenuous balance between the reality of our post modern society and an honest effort to live in a way that sustains me as well as takes into account, as best as possible, the needs of future generations.
