    Spirituality exists wherever we struggle with the issues of how our lives fit into the greater scheme of things. This is true when our questions never give way to specific answers or give rise to specific practices such as prayer or meditation. We encounter spiritual issues every time we wonder where the universe comes from, why we are here, or what happens when we die. We also become spiritual when we become moved by values such as beauty, love, or creativity that seem to reveal a meaning or power beyond our visible world. An idea or practice is 'spiritual' when it reveals our personal desire to establish a felt-relationship with the deepest meanings or powers governing life.

    Reminds me of the time they gave me morphine in hospital. Felt fantastic at the time, but I was cringing afterwards at some of the disinhibited, off-the-wall conversations it prompted me to have with my friends.

    That's twice you've made me think of hospitals today, Oscar. That's generally not good.

      A friend of mine had an operation recently and when he came to, still in morphine, the only thing he could say was "Would you mind holding my pussy" in the voice of Mrs Slocombe

        IIRC, I sent my boss a long and rambling e-mail via my phone about the profound changes I was perceiving. Fortunately, she knew I'd been laid up, and saw the funny side. Must have taken me fecking ages to type on a tiny mobile phone keypad.
