I don't know the word (all the good ones have been used, with attendant connotations) ... Spirit, the Universe, Light. I don't know. It's beyond words, though I must say yours do it justice. I could almost smell the incense. I get the same "high" outdoors, in the mountains, on the lake, the same feeling of being in touch with something greater than myself, the interconnected web of life. Writing/talking about it always makes me want to write/say something dorky, just so y'all don't think I'm getting spiritual on you.
