When all the items were picked up, she just patted me on the shoulder and told me to have a nice day. Her spontaneous kindness turned into a spiritual experience for me because I was reminded of the goodness of man and her actions left me with hope.
2. While spirituality involves thinking of oneself as part of the whole as opposed to being alone in the world, something that is very spiritual to me does not involve others at all. Going to the mountains is nearly always a spiritual experience for me. There is something about being alone in nature that is spiritual to me. Once I am on the mountains, things become very clear and I become calm. When I remove myself from the city and the business of life, I see things from a different perspective. I am less concerned about things such as work, paying rent, or doing the laundry. Instead, I focus on the beauty of nature and that alone makes the experience spiritual for me.
When I am on the mountains, I am grateful for simply being alive. My materialistic nature falls away and I can enjoy and appreciate the immediate surroundings rather than the things I own.
I try to make it to the mountains at least every other week because the experience recharges me. It does not have to be a perfect day for me too feel refreshed after going to the mountains. I've been on the mountains when it is too cold, too hot, too windy, when it is raining, and even when there is snow on the ground and every time, I have walked away feeling more alive than I was before. You could say that I am addicted to being on the mountains but in a very good way.
