"Writing about
spirituality
and highly gifted adolescents is a daunting task. It has often been
said
that individuals at the high end of the intellectual continuum vary
from
each other more than any other group, regardless of age. Extreme
variation
is true for abilities, passions, personality, temperament,
social/emotional
issues and life experience. It may be especially true about
spirituality,
which partakes of all those other differences and is so fundamentally
personal."
