It did not start out that way . . . what began as a simple letter mailed to a few friends has now emerged as this book, taking the form of practical, spiritual thoughts and actions that center around the seasons of the church and calendar year. Encouragement came like so many birds filling the sky, singing to lift the dawn that I might see a new day. Their music lifted my soul. Words of interest asking when this material would be published became the incentive for publication. Years of celebration involving the seasons that touch our lives so deeply moved within me. The high seasons and holy days never failed to provide a deep inspiration in my soul. It is from these moments that I compose the words and images that are found in this book. Following Spiritual Pathways A pathway to spiritual growth is open to those who seek in quiet moments an awareness of the Divine. Here the mind will inform the heart and the heart will illuminate the mind, forming a spiritual circle that gives balance to life. Each page invites you to enter an experience expressed in poetic form along with a guided imagery that can turn these quiet moments into a meaningful life experience. This pathway reflects my personal journey of meditation that began in 1977 under the guidance of Sister Virginia Mary Barta of Marionjoy in Wheaton, Illinois, and the urging of Rev. Dean Williams the Chaplain. Since then, I have shared what I experience as my mind informs my heart and my heart illuminates my mind.
