Perhaps the only kind of "spirituality" that is possible as a common form is
that which everyone might derive from a sense of conviviality with other
peoples and life forms? I.e., we can feel connected to each other and to
life without necessarily invoking a God, Goddess, Holy Spirit, etc. The
sense of place, place-based identity, may be the sort of common
"spirituality" that we can all agree to without getting trapped into
ethnoreligious conflict or ideological debate?
Warmly,
