Guided by the Disasters of My Life

I got pushed by the disasters of my life onto the course, the course that I wouldn't have chosen.

~Karen Armstrong via Dharmalingam Vinasithamby

We, along with a couple of thousand others, heard Karen Armstrong last night here in Greensboro. I was heartened that so many are responding to her spirit journey, as though they too had joined a convent of tradition which they later left, renouncing a god that did not make sense to them, and that they too are putting their spiritual lives back together and seeing the possibility of a meaningful journey. She helps us see that spirit or whatever-you-call-it is leading us on an incredible course, often seemingly against our choice. ~jpc
