get connected to the infinite? I was just reading and came upon that phrase and thought...isn't that where we all strive for? Those few moments- when it all comes together? What actually does that for you?

What actually does that for you? I now always feel connected. Through meditation, nature and my spirituality I found the initial connection I was searching for. At first I could only get that at certain times, but eventually it became a part of my every moment.

Being in the mountains, it's my sanctuary..and when I'm at my best. My connection to nature is powerful and "un natural" to some. Being in balance with the planet... It's amazing when I sit up there and meditate and a critter will come by and not even notice me...there is no fear. That's when I'm knowing I have 'become one with "nature".

huh? That's what I thought too. I guess it means I'm not connected

The ocean, the native bushland, the sky overhead....daily....hourly....and especially on Full Moon evenings when at drumming circle. It's a habit I got into as a child...to remain connected to the 'infinite'.

It's a term that doesn't need to be explained...only stating what works for me, no interest in defining or defending it.

what is the difference between inner and outer peace? For me Jayne, just in case your being serious... Inner peace is contentment and peace with "who I am" Outer is contentment and peace with "the state of the world". I personally experience "inner peace" Outer..I struggle daily...

Yes I was serious. I am working on achieving inner peace right now. I am not sure it comes from nature though but rather a strenght within myself. If outer peace refers to the environment we live in then I guess that is almost a hopeless task.
