So I don't really believe in a higher being. I am spiritual and believe in worshiping the earth around us, every part of it except things humans have had a hand in. I firmly believe to respect every living thing as best we can. After all, chances are it was here waaaaaaay before we got here. I think alot of us fail to recognize how new we are to this place. It's hard to grasp that concept in human terms.
The one thing I strongly believe in is some higher force of nature that guides us along. To me they are spirits watching and hovering. Not good, not bad but take things as they come and deal them out as it happens. No force or influence to make things go one way or another for anyone. It just happens.
So when I find myself in a situation where I have done everything I can in my power to make my fate work for me, the only thing left is to speak to the mystical spirits of the fate-o-sphere and let them know I have done all I can and the rest is in their hands and can you please make it favorable for me this twist of fate? And if it does not, and if my requests go unanswered as they did last fall when the job of my dreams was whisked from my grasp because of budget constraints? Then I say fuck it all...who knows? I'll try again next time!
