Braving The Soul

I've been listening to a fascinating podcast from On Being with Krista Tippett, Cosmic Imagining and Civic Pondering. (That's a mouth full!). The entire podcast is so interesting, and I love what they opened up about thinking about the soul. It does take bravery to acknowledge the soul, the things on the inside. It would be easy to live a life without inquiry, without reflection. Yet, if we don't look at soul, it is, as Maria says in the podcast, "..not attending to it [the soul] is like not attending to a garden... the 'us-ness"of us is rooted in soul." As we individually take good care of our lives, the result is a stronger connection between each other, between all living things.
