Very insightful post, Donna. "If we fail to allow there to be space within ourselves, we can’t make room for spirituality." - I think that's absolutely true. I feel that many times we are bombarded with so many attitudes, values, and religious beliefs about what we should feel, think, and how we should act. Many times these aren't even our own, as we uncritically accept things when we are children. This provides a great deal of internal clutter, in my opinion. A house cleaning is in order to free-up space, as you called it, and connect with our true inner selves. By the way, I have noticed and asked the question to many Westerners about heaven. Sorry, but I don't buy the man on the cloud way of thinking. Good post :) When I was at Michigan State University, that Pink Floyd poster was on my bedroom wall. Very insightful post, Donna.

It helped, but I'm still a bit stiff. I have arthritis in two disks in my neck, so my neck muscles really like to tighten up and protect it when it's out of whack. Takes a few days for it to loosen up again. My chiro says it's difficult to get inflamation in the neck like you would usually get around a damamged joint, so instead the muscles tighten. And the last time I hadn't gone in a year, I really got chewed out, so now I go every couple of months. He takes his work seriously! Yes, I did go the chiropractor.

And, a great post (as always with you!). I hope you got to the chiropractor and feel better. I've not been in over a year and desperately need to go. If you ask me where heaven is, I will point within myself -- it's also where I point when asked where/who God is. Wow, what a cool picture! And, a great post (as always with you!).
