This evening marks the beginning of the Muslim observation of Ramadan, a month of fasting from sun up to sun down. This holy month invites the faithful into deeper awareness of their relationship with The Holy and deeper engagement with their faith.
What practices help put you in touch with your deepest spiritual commitments?
Two aspects of life bring forth and reinforce my spiritual commitments. The first: when I look out the front door to the lawn where areas of green, green clover leaves and clover blooms grow, I realize that there is something essential in what we have been given on this earth to love. The second: when I see someone helping someone else solve a difficulty,…walking, carrying a bundle, confused… I know that human beings can be generous and caring of each other….and that the world in which we all exist has an order to it that we can enjoy.
