spiritual healing self
Political movements for justice are part of the fuller development of the cosmos, and nature is the matrix in which humans come to their self-awareness of their power to transform. Liberation movements are a fuller development of the cosmos's sense of harmony, balance, justice, and celebration. This is why true spiritual liberation demands rituals of cosmic celebrating and healing, which will in turn culminate in personal transformation and liberation.
heart self expression
Our self-expression is meant to be a manifestation of the silence of our hearts.
spiritual positive-thinking self-confidence
Faith takes us to deep places, to the ruptures in our self-confidence and our lives. Do not settle for spiritual comfort all the time...Darkness is divine also. Faith is not about positive thinking so much as about what kicks in when we are weak, sick, and short of self-confidence. The via positiva never stands alone. The via negativa is always with us on our faith journey as well.
work self limits
When our inner self connects to our work and our work to our inner self, the work knows no limit, for the inner self knows no limit.
believe belong community form ought people spend terms thinking time voluntary
People ought to tithe because they belong to a community that they believe in and they want to see prosper. Tithing is a form of voluntary taxation. In our culture, we should spend more time thinking in communitarian terms about taxation.
asked build cosmic cosmos fit lives peacefully personal religious smaller turn
We were made for something cosmic and will not fit peacefully into anything much smaller. And when we try to build our lives around anything much smaller than cosmos we become grotesque, and our institutions, be they religious or familial or educational or governmental are asked to do too much. They become misshapen and malformed and turn into instruments of cosmic and personal destruction.

I suppose the stories are physically and metaphorically at the places that define what Canada is,
bored city extremely gay mean might obvious ontario similar small terms town whatever woman
Just because a middle-aged woman in a small Ontario town and a young gay man in a city have obvious differences doesn't mean they can't be extremely similar in terms of their existential lives, or in the way that they go about doing whatever it is they go about doing, be it sodomy or dusting, ... If you are bored with those activities, you may end up having similar reflections about them -- or they might be placeholders, or become obsessions.
climate miles south
I enjoy a four-seasonal climate and wide-open spaces, so being on an island 2,500 miles into the South Pacific made me feel a little claustrophobic.
certainly dramatic funny later love mean people played point side sooner sort stuff
But, sooner or later I'd love to do a comedy. I mean I think that, you know, people don't think that that's in my wheelhouse because I've sort of played a lot of dramatic stuff and that's certainly a side of myself that I want at some point in the right context, in the right stuff, that I find really funny.

advanced altar anywhere bishops boy brother composed degree docile eager ending expelled good left life others receiving relatively scenario spiritual starting teaching western
Left to my own imagination, I could never have composed a scenario that was anywhere as interesting as my life has been: starting out as an eager altar boy, a good Boy Scout, a relatively docile Dominican brother and priest, receiving an advanced degree in spirituality, teaching bishops and many others around the world about our Western spiritual tradition, and then ending up being expelled from the Dominican order.
age bold coming found generation half latter maybe meanings order question seek succeeded twentieth
My generation was bold enough to question many things and to seek spirituality over religion. We haven't succeeded in overthrowing the old order yet, and maybe there are some meanings to be found in my story about coming of age spiritually in the latter half of the twentieth century.
decided emmy expect roles selective shows win
No, I didn't expect this to happen. Historically, shows do not win the Emmy in their first year, ... I've been very selective about what roles I've decided to take, from 'Party of Five' to 'Lost.'
