About
In this blog I explore spiritual practices and experiences. I celebrate community and connections between people, and the giftedness friends bring to each other. Often this will be in the context of religious belief, but please don’t expect to find fundamentalist or dogmatic views here. I am Christian, but I don’t believe that any one creed is better than all the others. And I have a selfish reason for writing here as well: the hope that doing so will bring more discipline and discernment to my own spiritual life.
The title is from a saying by the Lebanese poet and writer, Kahlil Gibran:
Your house shall not be an anchor but a mast.
In our lives we need both; the mast to help us reach the horizon, and the anchor to ground us in the stuff of our daily lives.
