Living in spirit.

David Life: I would define spirituality as “living in spirit”. Living in spirit just means that . . . It means that you do not only believe what you can see; that you know that there is a real existence beyond what I can see with my eyes that I feel inside. So you could say that spirituality means feeling more and being less obsessed with the differences that you observe in the world and more concerned about finding common ground – common ground with other countries, with other people, with the animals; common ground with the forest and the water.
