I have come to know myself apart from the voices of the religious community. Their words once pressed on me, heavy with expectation, but I no longer bend to them. I do not follow their calls; instead, I turn my back and walk briskly in the other direction. Not in anger, but in certainty. My steps are guided by a deeper truth within me—one that does not require approval, ritual, or doctrine.
However, I still hold respect for those who choose that path, because I understand what faith can mean to a soul in search of comfort. Yet for me, freedom has always come from walking my own way, with eyes open, heart steady, and spirit unbound.
And to add, I know the primal Source of all energy, biology, physics, chemistry, sacred geometry, materials, and the very Creator of me does not condemn me for wanting to learn. That Source delights in my hunger to know more, to open myself, to reach beyond the limits others may set. It trusts me beyond my wildest imagination, even as I open my heart to others who are unlike me—animals, fowl, fish, and creatures of every kind. In that trust, I find my freedom. In that knowing, I find my belonging.
