Reply #26: I feel closer to the "Great Spirit" in an open meadow...

Or high on a mountain top, than in the most grand church, cathedral, temple humans have created. Although the ancient Gothic ruins in Europe are pretty swell:) I feel those buildings put a barrier up between people and God.

I say "Great Spirit" because I heard one of my Native American elders use the term when I was a kid. It is really, I believe, our collective souls...
