Mmmm .. adult xtian forums? Bet you've got to put a lock on that one when the kiddos are around, hey?
Well you have good taste in surfer girls. (Mind the knives though.)
In surfing we have the perfect day where everything is a symphony of harmony. I once drove all night to a spot in south central CA to meet a swell at it eyeteeth. I awoke to the perfect day: 20ft perfectly groomed perfect swell direction; light off-shore winds; sunny.
The morning fog had just burned off when I saw those waves. It was as if Mother Nature had gone into orgasm. Yet, no one was out! Undaunted, I paddled out. I said to her; "Show me all your beauty; take me to your pleasant places that I may delight in them; let me live in the rapture of your love and THRIVE in your orgasm!
About 45min later, I figured out why nobody but me was out. A HUGE MASSIVE wave came at me at least 40ft+! I was in hammerland! That BITCH!
I'd be interested to hear more about your early religious experience and what it is you believe now. I get the feeling that for you it is as if you've decided to address nature as a whole and in its parts as an other or even Other. You have apparently spent a lot of time learning to translate, I'm guessing in order to allow you to dig into the bible. So I'd also be interested in what esteem you hold the bible now. How important, if at all, is it for you to identify as a Christian? If you're willing and more comfortable not sharing this widely, I'd happily welcome a PM. I'm more than willing to reciprocate with my own background if interested.
