Water is a major metaphor for life in relation to spirituality. We begin our look at the water of life using Jesus' words in John 7:38

In this episode we begin a new season of "Heart Sounds" exploring the infrastructure of the spiritual life: the water, electrical, framing, and sewer components that give us nourishment, energy, strength, and cleansing for living well.

Looking back on the previous 30 episodes, this one draws together the various threads to show the overall tapestry that is the "Heart Sounds' vision.

We live the spiritual life by cultivating the parts of it that have the greatest potential. In this episode we look at ways for doing that.

The spiritual life is one of congruence, where our profession of faith and our expression of faith match. In this session we look at ways we make alignment a reality in our spirituality.

In the spiritual journey we inevitably come to the place where we have to let go of some things in order to make progress. In this episode we explore the idea of abandonment, and how it opens the way to further formation.

We appropriate the spiritual life by applying Jesus' words: ask, seek, and knock. In this episode we look at each of these practices to learn how they turn our discoveries into experiences.

We practice the spiritual life by paying attention, by being mindful. In this episode we look at nature, scripture, and our lives as doorways into attentiveness, and doing so naturally.

Awe is our response to awakening. In this episode we look at awe as the bridge that leads us into a wonder-full life.

The spiritual life begins to be lived in an experience of awakening. In this episode we explore aspects of this "waking up" to God and abundant living.
