NAKED UNDER ETERNITY (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“We can allow life to remain unfinished. And we can allow ourselves to remain unfinished within it.”There comes a point in a life, and perhaps particularly in a genuine spiritual life, when our familiar ways of locating ourselves begin to lose their authority. The old maps no longer show us where we are or where we are going. What we want, what we believe, what we think should happen, what will make us happy, what will heal us, what spirituality is supposed to give us. Even the story of who we a
THE FIRE OF LIFE IN YOUR BELLY (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“There are moments when truth asks more of us than comfort can give.”There is a fire needed for transformation.We see its image everywhere in nature. The chrysalis in which one form dissolves before another can emerge. The snake shedding the skin that has become too small. The forest burned and blackened, only to reveal green shoots pushing through the ash. Something must end for something new to become possible.We see it too in the stories of human beings who have stood for what they knew to be
THE WHEEL OF DISSATISFACTION (opens the original)

Read excerpt
“The light we seek is not elsewhere, and the grace we long for is not waiting at the end of the path. It is already woven into the fabric of our being.”There is a tendency in spiritual life to imagine that grace is something that comes to us from elsewhere. We wait for the right moment, the right experience, the right opening. We hope for some descent of peace, love, or illumination that will reassure us that we are held by life and not simply thrown into it. But perhaps grace is not something t
THE LONG JOURNEY HOME (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“At some point there may come a deeper movement in which we cease asking the world to tell us who we are.”It is strange to look back across a life and see how lost one once was. There was a long period in my younger life when I had very little sense of what was really driving me. I knew pain. I knew restlessness. I knew the feeling of not quite fitting into the world, or perhaps not quite fitting into myself. But I did not yet understand the deeper forces at work beneath all of that. Like most o
