And, we are back.

The book of Jonah is a great one... and often misunderstood or made out to be a cartoon. In reality, it is masterful, hilarious storytelling at its best.

This is part 2 of 2, and it is born out of the contemplative tradition and it's discussion of what it means to have a "False Self" and a "True Self." Listen in for quotes from Thomas Merton, Thomas Keating, Soren Kierkegaard and how you can "lose yourself" in the best way possible.

In addition to that, here is the link to the Charity:Water account I made. Feel free to give money to help bring clean water to parts of the world. 100% of the proceeds go to making clean water happen!

From Nietzsche to Teilhard to the Yes we say to all of life. This one is all about how new life is being brought forth in the hardships of life.

Let's have a chat about 3 bad ways of being a person, and 1 really good one... And then talk about how boundaries are a spiritual discipline.

You gotta like that title, right? Did you know that challenging things to be better is a spiritual practice? Did you know there is an incredibly long tradition of doing this? Did you know that all of are intended to be iconoclasts? Give it a listen and then perhaps a rating on iTunes!
