Spirituality, for me, is being at peace with who I am and where I am in my life. It means being in the moment, enjoying each breath, feeling the softest whisper of air across my skin, feeling the earth under my feet, feeling the warmth of the sun deep inside - even if sitting in a room and being told I have cancer.
Spirituality means understanding that we are more than we know, more than we can comprehend. It means being connected to the world around you, being connected to the person you're with, or to the work you are doing.
But, to me, spirituality is not about being religious. They are different ideologies that often go hand in hand, but confused as being synonymous. Being religious means adhering to a doctrine, being spiritual means being connected to that which is beyond you. I've known priests that were religious, but not spiritual. And I've met farmers who weren't religious, yet deeply spiritual about the earth they tilled and planted.
