Considering that I am a "recovering Protestant" as well as a "failed amateur Buddhist" I have long been hard-pressed to categorize myself in any positive way, not that I feel a particular need to be in a category.  However, it has become apparent fairly recently that my spiritual path is Franciscan, and has been moving in that direction for several years unbeknownst to myself.  The simple zen-like act of daily feeding and caring for a variety of amazing animals, each one a singular miracle, has become no less than a holy communion of boundary dissolution requiring neither intentionality nor effort of many spiritual disciplines, and quite likely the closest I will ever come to finding mystical union in the routine of daily existence.
