Hints and Guesses Kent Dobson

I'd like to turn to Thomas Merton's writings on the True Self.  I find his mystical understanding of identity to be counter-cultural, challenging and ultimately hopeful.  I hope you hear a hint or guess from Merton, as I am, for your own descent beneath the ego's demands and stances.  Enjoy!

Some reflections and an unorthodox reading of an old parable of Jesus.  Enjoy!

This week is about the sacred, the holy ordinary, trees lit from within, Annie Dillard, Moses, and a few suggested practices for deepening our quality of attention.  Enjoy!

A podcast about the golden calf, the absence of God, the center which has no center, and the nutrients left in the compost heap of our spiritual ancestors.
