What is spirituality, really?

Spirituality is a loaded word, but what is it really? Can it be put in terms that are perhaps a little more down to earth that speak to different people who are on different developmental levels?

From my point of view, spirituality is "contactivity" and connectivity on many levels. It is a willingness to have contact with that which isn't known. It is a willingness to surrender to that which isn't known.

It is an acknowledgement of, and awareness of a sense of connection that seems to transcend linear thinking. It is an awareness of the power (and potential power) of this sense of connection. It is an awareness of the immediacy of this sense of connection. It is a willingness to explore this sense of connection.

It is allowing this sense of connection to occur when one walks, when one is face to face, when one is occupied, when one is feeling, when one is thinking, when one is quiet, when one is hurting, when one is sensing, when one is confused, when one is sensing amorphous energy. It is an awareness that the sense of connection can precede permeate and follow everything that arises in one's awareness.
