I can really relate to a lot of the things you’ve said here. As a child and even now sometimes I really need time to myself to be in nature. It is a healing experience for me to just walk among the trees, feeling the peace they give off. I, too, have realized that the answers do not come until I am ready for them and there is no sense in being impatient. Everything happens in its own time. I also know the frustration with being fed vague answers by religious authority. I remember many questions I asked of my preacher, only to be told “You’re not supposed to think about things like that. It isn’t important. You just have to have faith.” This was never an acceptable answer for me.
It is good that you are trying to integrate your religious beliefs with the truths you are developing instead of giving up on religion altogether. The connection with the Creator is our lifeboat in this sea of chaos. Even if doctrines and establishments crumble and change, your faith will always be there for you.
I wish you the strongest blessings in continuing to discover yourself and experiencing the joy of the journey ahead!
