on polygamy ((or)) when to call it quits in a marriage

For a lifetime, it seems, I’ve been polygamous. I have been married (or not-married, but with a marriage commitment) to a man for the past 15 years, mostly. That’s roughly my entire adult life.

I’ve ALSO been in an on-again-off-again relationship with the Divine (aka God). I find that both the human marriage and the divine marriage are better when surrounded by community. I haven’t had a very difficult time finding community in my life until recently, because I shared common beliefs with others in my circle. I could go to any number of Christian churches and find a whole passel of people who believed exactly (or at least mostly) what I believed, who were also in relationship with this Divine Being.

So...it was like we were all sister-wives in a giant polygamous marriage with God.

Hindu Holidays!

It's October, and that means it's the Hindu Holiday season! Last year we had the pleasure of participating in Diwali with some Hindu friends, and it was such a treat! This morning Huff Post had an article outlining the Hindu Holiday Season that I thought I would share!
