I wonder what folks are reading along the lines of spirituality. What’s helping or pushing or frustrating you in reading contained between actual book covers (though the daily check on a couple blogs, including this one, also help). What do you read that motivates action? My recent selections have been more introspective. I’ve just started Thomas Moore Care of the Soul, and I’m not into that enough to have anything to say other than he writes beautifully. The last thing I finished was Interior Castle, the classic of St. Teresa of Avila. A quirky thing to say the least–but very rooted in the wisdom of every day spritual searching. Its interesting to see many contemplative themes coming with a 16th century voice–and what a voice!

I am reading Violence and Theology by a womanist theologian named Cheryl Kirk-Duggan. I don’t know that it is motivating me to do the justice work we are called to do. It is educating me however. For the spiritual retreats for my soul right now I head for my flower garden and make beauty happen!Gardening is a very meditative practice I think.
