We all admire people we believe are spiritually mature and we want to know how to reach that same spiritual maturity for ourselves. We first must recognize that spiritual maturity is not a destination we reach, but rather a lifelong journey!
There is no guru who can lead us there. There is no list of 5 easy steps to forever transform your life. It is an ongoing process that involves becoming intimate with your fears and enjoying the contradictions and ironies in life. It is about letting go of some things (ouch!) and grabbing hold of some things you never dreamed of!
Authentic spirituality is about exploration, not escape. It is about being open to the many ways the sacred speaks to us. It involves introspection rather than distractions of the world. It involves serving more than being served. It is a journey of discovery, decision, and dedication. And once you start the journey, you can only go forward. Going back just doesn't work.
Let's start that journey together now!
I'll hold the high watch!

I believe that a meaningful life is one in which you strive to serve others in whatever way you are meant to.
The Dalai Lama says that we as human beings must work to move all of humankind foreward. It is the way of happiness. It is the way of peace.
"There is a destiny that makes us brothers, none goes his way alone. All that we send into the life of another comes back into our own."
