Truth, wisdom, goodness, beauty, the fragrance of a rose: All resemble spirituality in that they are intangible, ineffable realities.
We may know them, but we can never grasp them with our hands or with our words. These entities have neither color nor texture; they cannot be gauged in inches or ounces or degrees; they do not make a noise to be measured in decibels; they have no distinct feel as do silk, wood, or cement; they give no odor; they have no taste; they occupy no space.
And yet they exist; they are. Love exists, evil exists, beauty exists, and spirituality exists...We do not define them; they define us.
Beautiful words from:
Kurtz, E. & Ketcham, K. ( 2014 ) Experiencing Spirituality: Finding Meaning Through Story Telling. New York: Penguin. (page 31)
