		<title>In the Spirit of Silence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spend a lot of my time in conversation&#8230;talking, listening, talking some more. Over the past few years I have come to love the silence in between the words. Not the kind of awkward, punishing silence that creates tension, but spacious, patient, silence that invites the truth to come forward in its own time. Silence [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let Your Voice Be Heard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I was grading a stack of final papers for one of my classes, and I began to notice a common habit among some of my students. Female students, to be specific. Their writing style, format and content was more passive, tentative and cautious. Even the sentence structure and grammar was in the passive voice, [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Healing Paradigms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During my spiritual direction training, I was fascinated to learn that some of my colleagues had been working with the same spiritual director for many years&#8211;in some cases, many decades. I felt a pang of longing when I heard that; what would it be like to have someone witness the unfolding of another&#8217;s spiritual journey [...]]]></description>

		<title>Follow your Dreams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend I saw the new documentary, Being Elmo, the inspiring story of Kevin Clash, the puppeteer who brings Elmo to life. As someone who grew up with Sesame Street, it was also a nostalgic film that sparked many memories for me. I experience the full range of laughter and tears throughout the film, especially [...]]]></description>

		<title>Settle Down, Settle In</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I tweeted a lovely quote from children&#8217;s rights activist and visionary Marion Wright Edelman about learning to listen to the &#8220;sounds of the genuine within yourself.&#8221;  What does that mean exactly? Underneath layers and layers of stories, memories and wounds is the holy spark of the genuine within every person. I recently discovered the insightful, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seeds of Truth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When your truth forsakes its shyness, when your fears surrender to your strengths, you will begin to experience that all existence is a teeming sea of infinite life.  &#8211;Hafiz, from the poem &#8220;In a Handful of God&#8221; &#160; I love this poem, especially the line about surrendering your fears to your strengths. It&#8217;s always a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Breathing Yourself Free</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week on the Today show there was a story&#0160;about a woman who found freedom from panic attacks after forty years. Yes, 40. No gimmicks; rather, simplicity,&#0160;the presence of a compassionate witness, practice, faith.&#0160; Healing can be found in the simplest things.&#0160;Breathe.&#0160;]]></description>

		<title>Perfectly Imperfect</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am inching gingerly toward Yom Kippur, looking inward with an annointed and decidedly human magnifying glass. I have had more foot-in-mouth moments than I care to admit over the past year, made messes and stepped on people&#39;s tender hearts even when my intention was otherwise. I am grateful to Brene Brown for sanctifying imperfection, [...]]]></description>
