Soul School – Lisa Colón DeLay | Spiritual Formation

Clean water is not common on the U.S. island of Puerto Rico. I have updates and I'm alsosharing a special prayer that speaks to love that moves us past our selfishness and ambitions toward the the greatest good.

More from the island today (recorded from a cabin in the rainforest of Naguabo, Puerto Rico) and a reading from my book The Wild Land Within on prayers that do not contain words.

Living in the shadow of alienation

A look at prayers from the earliest Christian traditions.

Reflections on awe and mortality (through the work of Rebecca Elson)

The work of poet, Nikky Finney.

Birthday reflections and a word of encouragement

Wisdom from Dr Howard Thurman on the Strength to be free, Not giving up, and The Ministry of the Living Spirit of the Living God.

"In Robert Hayden's work the actualities of history and culture became the launching places for flights of imagination and intelligence. His voice characterized by musical diction and an exquisite feeling for the formality of pattern is a seminal one in American life and literature." — Arnold Rampersad

Readings today come from "For the Inward Journey" by Howard Thurman and brought to you by host Lisa Colón DeLay.
