Read More..>>addition and subtraction…
I recently read that Meister Eckhart, a 14th century Christian mystic, once said that the spiritual life is not so much a process of addition as a process of subtraction. (The Clearing Season, by Sarah Parsons, p. 84). I really resonate with that thought. I’ve spent the last six weeks moving through The Clearing Season, […]

One of my favorite authors and artists is Robert Sexton (www.robertsexton.com). My mother introduced me to his works, and I am not sure how she found him, but we […]

I am a part of this great online community of faith called “Epinoia Cafe” (www.epinoiacafe.com). Today, I found this posted there by a member of our online community that I only know by name, but hope to meet face-to-face one day soon. Her name is Cat and here is what she posted:by Joan […]
