Sarahbella,
Ah, the beauty of re-reading, right? Your first read thought I was trying to dissect the spiritual turkey with the scalpel of science. Not my intent, really. Science might give us a map, but it can't capture the landscape.
Don't Be Sad: If my writing made you melancholy, then either I missed my mark or you're finally attuned to the sorrowful undertone in everything I say. Just kidding, of course. Spiritual experiences are like art — you might analyze the brushstrokes and colors, but that doesn’t replace the 'feel' of the painting.
Double Takes Are Good: The fact you read it again and saw something new? That’s the ticket. Spirituality isn’t something you 'get' in one pass — it’s not a pop quiz. It’s a puzzle you keep figuring out, and sometimes you find that pieces you thought fit perfectly actually belong somewhere else.
Keep digging, keep questioning, and you might find that neither science nor spirituality has the last word. And that’s perfectly fine. Because the ultimate truth? It laughs in the face of words.
So, no sadness needed. 😊 We're all stumbling our way through the fog.
