I have recently been going to this place to meditate. This place is sacred to me but is not a church. I become in touch with my soul and a higher power but I do not pray. I simply sit on a rock on the water's edge, still, silent, and free. I feel a sense of uphoria at times. I really have no clue about religion as I wasn't raised to belive. But at those moments, the moments when I fear I will not last alone, that I need someone there with me. I go to that sacred place and know I am not alone. So is this what eligion is? Could it just be to believe in something stronger than you, something you feel inside? What ever it is, it has helped me get through the hardest time of my life. Should I think about going to church too?
