Immortality
I just sat under the full Moon, on the bench in my back garden. Very silently, not to raise suspision by the neighbours. They wouldn't know what hit them if they knew they lived next to a Pagan.
It has been a hard struggle to keep my faith during the years. You're in it alone. There aren't many people I know that are Pagan where I live and sometimes you just want to belong.
I'm a member of a Christian choir, just because I love to sing and there's no Pagan choir ; )
I have a hard time when we have to sing in church, so many mixed feelings.
You want to belong to the group, but you can't just because you have such different thoughts and convictions.
I respect Christians, but I don't know what they would do if they would find out that I'm Pagan. I know that some people would think that to be crazy.
Are there more people who struggle this way ??
In my own family it is accepted. My husband knows and understands, so do my kids. Even my parents understand and have changed through the years. They say they believe in nature too.
Sitting under the full Moon I realize that this is the most important thing, follow your heart, listen to what your heart says and what you feel.
Everytime I struggle I just have to think of the way I felt tonight, under that beautiful Moon and just know that it's ok, that this is my path.
