Peeking Out
I wouldn’t talk about being a None if I didn’t believe it was important to discuss important topics with an ethical, accessible, but not-specifically-religious framework. I believe in this work. But sometimes I feel awkward about the messaging, and don’t want to get it wrong. I love this beautiful picture, because I do feel as though I’m “peering out” at times. Conversations with others are helpful.
#Grateful
So grateful for an amazing conversation with https://gracefulatheist.com/podcast this week. As a None it can feel alienating sometimes to see yourself as the only one with that particular outlook on the world. Finding others who are, gosh darn it, just trying to put some good into the world is so incredibly life & energy giving.
