I am headed out camping this weekend and am very much looking forward to spending time outdoors in the wilderness.

I actually find the wilderness my safe place where I have no vulnerabilities. Yes, I know, this might sound rather surprising considering bear country, other wild animals, and being alone. But safe I do in fact feel. Also, being in the outdoors surrounded by trees, topography, and water is my sense of being in tune and in contact with whatever the Creator may be. In a way, it is church for me. It is some time since I communed with nature. I feel a strong calling. Two sleeps until I can do so again! Yay.

So I wonder what others consider their safe place to be spiritually connected.
