An interesting thing this week... now, I'm accustomed to praying regularly, be it going about my day or the more formal times of being at the altar or at a ritual. But. Hm, wonder if I can write this in a way that makes things clear.
I tend to, even when going about my business, to pause for a moment to gather myself together before saying anything. Then the other day I was helping out with the haying and have a huge sneezing fit. I'd taken my nettles that morning -- something I've been trying to make a regular habit of -- but hay and saw dust are a bit much. I'd just been sent up from the mow to go help in the wagon when I had the sneezing fit. Leaning against one of the barn timbers, I just came out with "Goddess, help me with these allergies!" And She did. I could feel a change from my head down my upper back, an (energy?) movement of some sort. And then I was pretty much good to go for the rest of the job.
The next morning I sneezed a few times and decided that rather than hit the nettles or OTC stuff right away, I would ask for help again, and again received it. My thought is that, perhaps, I might be becoming less allergic. Considering we had a few pumpkins go moldy this week, that's really saying something... I did have a bit of nettles later in the day as a little extra help, but for the most part things have improved. I am cautiously optimistic on the health front. And more than happy about having moved another step further along the path.
Who knew that haying could be a spiritual experience?

Literally anything can be a spiritual experience in some way, shape, or form. All life is infused with Spirit so naturally are activities can touch that in us.
Excellent to hear. :)
Well, certainly I had some idea that haying could be a religious experience. I know that I've often prayed that the rain would hold off for just another hour or so, so that we can get in that load of hay...
