Is there more?

Religions would dwindle if we didn't begin with the premise that there is "more" beyond that which we perceive through senses and logic. A great bulk of religious practice is geared towards experiencing things which are out of the norm of our perceptions.

So yes, I feel there is more.

Other forms of communication seem sometimes to come closer to showing us the gateway to this 'more' - ask yourself, have you ever felt, or even understood, something that you can't explain from looking at a piece of art, or listening to a piece of music?

But we are not so fluent in those languages, and so we revert back to the safety of trying to translate them into the linear language of words, and continue to flummox ourselves - 'more must just be some idealistic fantasy notion that I've invented in my head, because I can't explain it'...

When we find ourselves content to simply be with music, art, nature, the clouds (a personal favourite), our loved ones...there we will find 'more', and will know that not being able to explain it verbally takes nothing whatseoever away from it, or from our experience of it...

I understand , our experience is genuine , even if we cannot explain it , thats why we cherish this , even if we cannot talk about it to others , afraid of disbelief or rejection . Sometimes there are no words , and we spend to much time looking for them.
