Do you practice religion?

Love and tolerance seems to me to be two of the strong foundations for any religion and yet differences manage to spark unease.

My parents were agnostic ( on the fence 😂 just -in-case kind of people) So that left me plenty of wriggle room.

In a former life I was a hippie which pretty much screams pacifist from the off. ‘ Give peace a chance’. Who could possibly disagree with that?

Jehovah Witnesses constantly get a bad press, but to give them their due they flatly refuse to join the armed forces. Staying neutral in world conflicts.

Today I embrace Paganism ( with a slice of the promoted compassion of Buddhism, thrown in for good measure)

No, I don’t practice witchy things or have an altar in my home, but out in the wild I fully recognise the power of nature. I appreciate and respect the strength of the elements and believe every creature has the right to live here safely. If we can assist them in any way the better the world would be for them. Coexistence is a wonderful thing.

Gratitude and respect for planet Earth is surely non-negotiable?

And tell me…..If you don’t believe in anything, where do your thanks go?
