Spirituality--Serious Business...Or...Not?

I started this post in an attempt to talk about just how serious--or not--one should be in their spiritual journey. And by serious I mean "don't laugh, don't smile, don't do or say anything that might offend anyone here on Earth, let alone God, and definitely do not deviate from the set rituals, ceremonies, words, of your chosen path because (insert Divine Denizen of Choice) won't like it."

To sum up what I want to say about the topic is challenging. I've got stories of my experiences that could fill a small hardcover book.

Maybe I should let it rest a while and come back when I've had sleep.

Maybe I should make a "top ten" list or something--to make it easier for me to write and easier for others to digest.

And above all, I want to make people laugh.

Humor is one of those things that breaks ANY kind of barrier to understanding one another and helps lighten the mood if people are getting frustrated with something.

Yet I sometimes become afraid that with humor, I'm not going to be "serious enough" for some folks, who might otherwise want a dry-as-overheated-turkey discourse, and who walk a super-straight-n-narrow path as if their very souls depended on it.

And just by writing all this down, I've got an idea, which will be written later. I've got to get some shuteye.

Until then...ponder all the dogmatic approaches to spiritual living that you've encountered--you might be surprised at how many of them sound like stuff you've unconsciously parroted, either by word or action.

Peace,
Kat ^.^
