Spiritual
I have a long winding path with religion/spirituality/The Divine/The Big God, Man or Woman, whatever you call it.
I was raised Catholic, I went through a Wiccan phase, a very strong Evangelical Christian phase, a 'nothing' phase, a Buddhist phase, and a whole bunch of other phases. And today I no longer give myself any title. [Although Anthony is trying to convince me that we should both convert to Judaism to raise Jewish children (stay tuned for that one)]
It has been many things, but has always comes down to is love. I believe very simply, as cliche as it may sound that
Under whatever name my spirituality has had, it's always been the grounding force for me, even when I didn't realize it. The beauty of that simple sentiment is that while it's very personal it's also undoubtedly interpersonal and I often find my strongest moments of peace when I'm inspired by who's around me.
Recently, I've reconnected with this part of myself, and in the raw humanity of becoming a physician, it's more important than ever.

God is Love.If you sit with that phrase for a second you can realize how an entire spiritual identity can form around it.
