Honest-to-God prayer that expresses exhilaration and exhaustion;

Balancing one’s schedule with sabbath and action, silence and speech;

Self-nurturing spiritual practices in community and solitude;

Spiritual mentoring and healthy friendships with appropriate boundaries;

Transforming failure by mining gifts in weaknesses and strengths;

Integrating of the mystical, political, intellectual, and physical arenas;

A life mission that links personal passion and some need in the world.
