J.Krishnamurthi
When I was a child in church, prayer was long and wordy. Responsive prayers dragged on for hours; extemporaneous prayers were worse. Forests grew and glaciers melted in the time it took some to say their piece. I would shift in the hard pew, trying to get comfortable, and wiggle my toes in their Sunday shoes dangling above the floor.

(Special issue: "Taking Spirituality Seriously") Guest Editor: Isabel Clark
The introduction to this issue referred to the exclusion of certain ways of knowing by the dominant, scientific, culture, and that spirituality was among the topics regarded as beyond the pale. I am here going to consider some of the arguments for and against exclusion, with special reference to mental health. First of all, the vexed question of definition needs consideration, and the very difficulty of definition takes us to the heart of the debate about whether such an elusive concept has any place in scientific discourse.
When people lived in harmony with the land, cared for it and survived because of it, they had a spiritual connection with it and each other. This is what is missing today, and this is the vital link we need. City life is so draining, our modern routine consumes us, but it does not have to be that way, we can still tap into the spiritual energies within us and all around, if only we would be open to it.
