Meaning
This can be taken to mean that spiritual life does not have to be tidy, exclusive, or formally ordered. It reads as permission to take comfort and meaning where they are found, then keep going with what brings peace. It lands for someone piecing together belief after disappointment, choosing what helps without apology.
