Reflect

Br. David Steindl-Rast writes, “Sometimes people get the mistaken notion that spirituality is a separate department of life, the penthouse of existence. But rightly understood, it is a vital awareness that pervades all realms of our being.” It is, he reminds us, a kind of “aliveness in all areas of body and mind — from healthy living habits to respectful ways of treating others, to caring for our environment, and relating to Mystery.” It’s not something touchy-feely but a heightened awareness that helps us see beyond the mundane to the meaningful, beyond the superficial to the profound.
