Quote by Jodi Picoult
I am not a religious man. I have not attended a service for many years. But I do believe in God. My own practice of religion, you could say, it a nonpractice. I personally feel that it's just as worthy on a weekend to rake the lawns of an elderly neighbor or to climb a mountain and marvel at the beauty of this land we live in as it is to sing hosannas or go to Mass. In other words, I think every many finds his own church- and not all of them have four walls - Judge Haig (Page 399)
Summary
Judge Haig expresses in this quote that while he may not actively engage in organized religion or attend religious services, he still believes in a higher power or God. He suggests that his own personal practice of religion is one that doesn't involve conventional religious rituals or traditions, but rather finding spirituality and connection with the divine through acts of kindness, appreciating nature's wonders, or serving his community. He implies that one's individual and subjective experiences can be just as meaningful and valuable as traditional religious practices, and that finding one's own "church" can involve diverse activities and settings beyond the confines of a physical place of worship.
