Thank you for the beautiful post, hp.
You know I have a child. He's very gifted in ways to be revealed. He began asking about death very early. I told him about a heaven where you see everyone that's gone ahead, plus the people who you might not like or have acted out of ignorance (like the BP spill, say) are friends now because they are no longer ignorant.
It makes it easier than my musings on nothing. He looks forward to meeting my mom, for instance who died before he was born.
So I'd like to find a church for us. I suppose I'd need to find a priest I could talk to who would accept my Buddhism as non-conflicting. I actually think a real confession would be a relief for me.
This is a big step for me. Much damage was incurred by my father and his very strange, tortured Catholicism.
However, besides being a mom, I'd need a church that could accept me and a priest to talk with. I can not hide or lie by omission any more.
Do you think this is possible?
