Every natural fact is a symbol of some spiritual fact.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our spirituality doesn't reveal itself only when we pray, meditate, or go to church. The implications of spirituality are much wider and deeper than that. Nearly everything we do is a reflection of the presence or absence of a spiritual dimension in our lives.

"How much is enough?" is a primary spiritual question. If we are not enough, all the food, drugs, or material goods in the world can never be enough. A sense of worthiness is a sign of the spirit. "Where is my security based?" is another primary spiritual question. If my security is based on status or the approval of the crowd, this is also a statement about my spirituality. We act out our spirituality when we smile and pat people on the back or gossip and tell insensitive jokes.

Our spirituality defines us. We don't need to tell anyone how spiritual we are - if they're hanging around us, they already know.

I seek to enrich my spirituality right now, but remember that it will be reflected in everything I do today.

Today's reading is from the book Days of Healing, Days of Joy: Daily Meditations for Adult Children*
