There's a special relationship btw the via negativa & the via transformativa: as we learn more sensitivity from suffering, we tune more into the suffering of others, & moral imagination (vias creativa & transformativa) engages to assist in the relief of the suffering of others. bit.ly/3X5SbMD

#Spirituality (unlike much organized #religion) is about the #wisdom we all carry inside of us: The dreams, the aspirations, the yearning of #soul, the ability to let go, to forgive, to move on, to struggle, to survive, to care, to be strong, to honor what is beautiful & what matters. bit.ly/4kxtIcG

Death is a reminder that one’s life, the greatest gift we are given, has both a beginning & an end.
What gifts do we choose to leave behind in that interval? Gifts that endure, gifts that uplift, gifts that offer joy & justice for others, including the neediest? Gifts of appreciation? bit.ly/4rLj6Ll
