This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 12, 2009:
People like Johnny Appleseed, John Muir, Henry David Thoreau and others had the right idea - passionately create life, spread life, nurture life, protect life, glorify life for the simple reason it is life.
Life - not just human life - is its own purpose. It needs no justifications and owes nothing to any other but the previous life that created it.
I don't know what you'd call a religion like that. I'm not certain it needs a name as much as it needs loving and consistent practitioners. It needs no gods, no messiahs, no second-comings, no prophets, popes, priests, deacons, holy places, holy books or holy relics, no holy accoutrements.
Members of this religion look at life in complete awe and are continually renewed by it.
Count me among them.

Nicely put Ricky…
Jordan, thanks for your gift of time and energy to read what I had to say and to respond. Very much appreciated.
Its own purpose
in no need of naming:
Life.
I like your thoughts here.
And thanks for sharing
the names of thinkers who´ve inspired you.
Passionately. Excactly. What else is necessary.
:)
