Spirits of the Times (6/30/04)

There seems to be a lot of self-conscious searching for the spiritual these days. Most of these efforts leave me puzzled.

The spiritual realm is the world in which we live and move and have our being. Spirit is not something that is looked upon from the standpoint of a spectator. Without spirit we are like fish without water.

Instead of emulating fish leaping out of water for an instant at a time, it seems to me that our conscious efforts might best be directed to searching for ways to address the spirits that are polluting the environment where we have to live.
