What am I?

I'm not an athiest. I believe there is a higher power, though I hesitate to use the loaded term, "god"

I'm not agnostic. I firmly believe in the wonder and mysticism of the universe, not as created by a higher power, but as an aspect of that... divine force itself.

I'm not a deist, though this label may be the closest of all. They believe in a more humanized story of creation as unfolded by the mind of God. Their God and its actions are too anthropomorphized for my tastes.

I don't believe in a pantheon. While nature is surely a central aspect of my spirituality, I don't divide its forces into separate Gods.

I don't think there is any need to mention Christianity here.

So, what does that leave? And, why do I feel a need to label it at all?
