JOYFUL WANDERING -- 14

+ updated at 11:06am ESDT on Friday, April 22, 2011, EARTH DAY and GOOD FRIDAY

+ EARTH DAY UPDATE: Spirituality and Practice offers "12 Spiritual Practices to Honor the Earth" by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat.

+ GOOD FRIDAY UPDATE: Spirituality and Practice offers "Of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%" by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat. This is a Spiritual Literacy Blog post commenting on an article by Joseph Stiglitz in Vanity Fair.

Yes, this is a Good Friday message.

I really appreciate the emphasis on Justice and Fairness Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat continue to offer.  Spirituality without genuine efforts on behalf of compassion, peace, justice and sustainable abundance is no spirituality at all.

+ Inner Frontier offers "Coexistence" by Joseph Naft, important Inner Work in his series on The Path of Liberation. Naft urges us to keep pressing on for our true freedom: "Stranded between the taste of freedom and our inability to stay free, we constantly renew our inner work. For this week, notice when you are free and notice when you are under your personality, believing it is who you are. Each moment of such seeing adds to the account by which you buy your freedom."
