ONLINE Lopid (Brand) FOR SALE, Fortunately, I discovered boating. And what I mean by "boating" is not heading out onto a lake with a massive hp noise-maker to yank around a skiing or wakeboarding yahoo. I mean taking our small boat with it's mostly pathetically small, high-efficiency 4-stroke outboard to a remote area where our 2nd, electric motor can propel us silently about. Rather than catching fish I snap photos.

Lately I'm in the habit of finding suitable areas to leave the boat and wander around a bit. Particularly in the winter season. A drier season with less-dense vegetation.
Still, I wouldn't call boating my religion, ONLINE Lopid (Brand) FOR SALE. The activity lacks essential elements. Sure, I'm passionate about it. But there's no dogma involved (values, sure), no official doctrine, and, most importantly, no supernatural elements.
I wouldn't even use the word "spiritual" to describe the uplifting feelings I experience. Spiritual has other-worldly implications, and if you're dragging another world into nature, I'm not so sure you are experiencing it as fully and honestly as you might. So a spiritual experience is exactly what I'm not ONLINE Lopid (Brand) FOR SALE, interested in having. When in the wilderness, I want to be "in this world" as much as possible. I want to see, hear, smell, and feel as much and as purely as possible.
For now, I might call the wilderness my cathedral. It's a special place I can visit for an experience of silence (in terms of human-generated noise), awe, and relative peace. It's a place I can go to see a bigger picture -- one beyond me and my human peeps and all our egocentric strivings. It's a place that reminds me I am but one species among many (including those few photographed last Saturday and shared here). In wild areas, personal and human concerns seem to shrink and dissolve. In their wake: a grander nature, a bigger experience of life.
