Please note: this podcast was published one year after it was first recorded. At the conclusion of my annual silent retreat, I share some reflections on growing in the life of grace and the "seasons of the heart" through which we travel. We cover the same ground again and again in the spiritual life, but each time we cover it, we come to it as new people. Therefore we are not just going in circles, but in spirals - ascending, hopefully, higher and higher on each rotation - until we come at last to the heaven-haven of our reward.
