Yearning

 The first time homo sapiens filled burial sites with artifacts of life, there emerged a yearning and a hope for a life after death. The gods became the locus of this, and the vision of God became as varied as the languages, dress, art and behavior of human beings. God could be benign, obscure, loving, vengeful, fatherly and much more.

In a contemporary world of easily shared knowledge and many spiritual choices, how do we find a God that directs us to live the life we want to live?
The belief that there is no God, still does not dismiss the yearning toward something higher that is part of the full human being.
