Besides the Eucharist at church, Carolyn Terry also finds God in her background -- in the flowers, birds, plants and everything she sees in nature. This is what she and others call "Celtic Spirituality," a worldview that embraces nature along with poetry, art and higher learning. It's a spirituality that stems from Ireland but can be practiced by Catholics, Episcopalians and others.
