Where is the spirit?

This summer has been a peaceful time yet why do I feel so restless? As I get older I contemplate life and what it means. It puzzles me sometimes. I have a strong belief in the spirit of human nature but I constantly come across others who challenge this belief. They regard it as ‘wishfull thinking’ which unsettles me.  Yet as I try to meditate, in the stillness, my belief in the powerful force of our spirit remains.  I know very little about it yet within myself I know it is the right path for me to follow.  It is very hard to know which direction to go now. I suppose to look within to find myself?  There is strength there.  Is this the right direction to go? It is such a beautiful day.  I will go outside and walk the dog and enjoy the sun shining down on me and think beautiful thoughts.
