missing pieces

i am a Christian.

that (not so) simple statement shapes people's perceptions of me.
automatically a switch flips and no matter what they knew of me before i am clumped in with their preconceived ideas and stereotypes that go along with my faith.

those ideas deal with the temporal
and my faith is so much more
it transcends anything earthly

my faith is such a huge part of my life.
it shapes who i am.
it is the basis of my beliefs.
... and yet i feel like i've only truly connected with one person
and he's Buddhist.
our souls connected
right from the start
in a way that i've never experienced with anyone else

i would think that i would be able to (or could be able to) connect with other Christians

but i've never connected spiritually the way that we have with anyone else.
never even come close.

maybe that means that the stereotypes are true

i am more alone than i ever realized... how is that possible?
