A disquieting question persists: “What if I should die before I feel life is full?”  It is deeply personal, hauntingly spiritual.  It’s a challenge to re-visit beliefs and the dynamics of faith, love, hope.  Exploration brings a fresh encounter: the human and spiritual elements of “self.”  These are not contending identities; each supplies unique initiatives for life’s fullness.  Both need nurturing; either can be ignored.  Spiritual experience makes promise and mystery real; this enhances earthly achievements.These Meditations focus on spiritual vitality—especially for seniors.  They reach beyond a biological birth-death time-frame.  They touch on continuity beyond earth-time.  God’s initiatives enrich the spiritual self—grace energizes faith.  This generates and motivates people to offer acts of love.  Love fosters grander character and perspective, wholesome relationships, healing for the heart-hungry/heart-broken.  The outcome: a healthier self experiencing joy and peace—wholeness for life beyond death.
