Some form of spirituality, it seems to me, is the basis of all our lives, whether we choose to accept this fact or not. I begin to wonder also whether wandering away for a time from the tradition of our birth may be a natural part of spiritual growth, that it is OK if that happens. It is a thing not just confined to Christianity, which is the basis of my tradition for this life. In fact I have heard Hindu parents complaining that their young people are just not as interested these days. I would imagine that there are some Moslem parents who say the same thing. Going walkabout may be vital and perhaps the opportunity God-given.
