(A little guide book for a better spiritual life)
In hour of those whose memory we cherish
Life is an amazing gift. Yet we can get so caught up in the numbering routine of daily life that we are only half-awake to its depth and riches.
Life is difficult. And sometimes when we try to avoid the ache of disturbing feelings, this, too,
can numb us from experiencing life to the full.
Occasionally circumstances jar us into deeper awareness---
a crisis perhaps, like an illness of a job loss, or a pivotal event,
like a birth, marriage or death. And then we recognize that we're in the midst of mystery,
and---for a moment---we live at a deeper, richer, more intense level.
This is what Living From Your Soul is all about---living passionately, mindfully aware. Being wide awake,
feeling deeply, knowing what matters, embracing life.
In the Thornton Wilder's Our Town, the character Emily asks,
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it---every, every minute?" She's told: "The saints and poets, maybe---they do some."
Living From Your Soul reminds us that there's both saint and poet in each of us. We need only pay attention.

Why study?
The more I study, the more I know;
the more I know, the more I forget;
the more I forget, the less I know;
so why study? |
