God;

I have been praying a lot lately.. I don't necessarily have one specific religion. I like to call whatever it is out there that connects us all "God" because giving a name to something is human nature I suppose, and God best suits that feeling I get. I may not believe in one specific God.. I certainly don't agree with what most religions follow, but I believe it's better to believe in something, rather than believing in nothing at all, so here I am. I used to call it the universe. But I feel like the universe is where we live, not really what connects us, if that makes any sense. Any how, I was going to say.. Lately when I've been praying.. (or maybe it's been all my life.. I'm not really too sure.) I get this really overwhelming feeling of empathy and happiness.. It makes me tear up, not to the point of crying, but it feels like some kind of divine intervention or connection, which is why I think I can't help but believe that SOMETHING is listening to us out there.

I've been praying for Japan mostly.. It's difficult to even conceive the thought of something like that happening here. I hope something is listening out there, because I think this is the beginning of 2012. And maybe we're the one's who are supposed to listen now, maybe that's what this is all really about. Being accountable for our actions, and changing for the better.
