A North Star

   Thanks to the miracle of the Internet, I was able to take another look at Scott Peck's classic, The Road Less Traveled. (All my books are in storage, as I patiently wait for two houses to sell so we can purchase a newer, better house - typical.) This book was tremendously important to me because it indicated that there is something to spirit and spirituality. In first reading this book, I think this is where I actually began living a Life in Spirit.

   Surprisingly, Peck talks about discipline. For the past 3 years I've been practicing sitting meditation, thanks to Shambhala Training and to the Centerpointe program of Bill Harris. I've come to appreciate the close connection of the Practical and practice. This morning it came to me that a life in spirit also provides direction, as if I have my own North Star.
