over the past nine months i've read 23 books on Buddhism... lately i'm struggling over whether or not it's the correct path for me... i'm striving to become a Buddhist yet i do things like pray to the universe each night while sitting alone on my front porch and hug the trees in my backyard to become grounded and i feel good about it.... WTF???

I'm against all organised religion. However Buddism is the religion I'm least against.
Most Christians I know don't pick up hobos walking up the road - so it's hard to take them seriously. I live in a generally christian country so its where I see the most hyposity but all religions suffer from it.

Learn to listen. - which is actually Buddism consdensed. Everything talks. Think like my dog on the chain waiting for me to come home.

  If you have Spirituality that is all that matters, I don't think there needs to be a label on it.
