"What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well" (The Little Prince by de Saint-Exupéry). My journey to a WELL-adjusted heart, WELL-watered soul, WELL-educated mind, and WELL-tuned body. "Love the Lord your God with all your HEART, and with all your SOUL, and with all your MIND, and with all your STRENGTH" (Mark 12:30-31).

Spiritual Direction by Henri Nouwen
I think I will put this in the curriculum I am developing. I love Nouwen. I also love that Belovedness is included in this book. It is a combination of formation and direction. It has just one problematic part because he speaks of Vanier of L'Arche. Nouwen died before anyone knew of Vanier's sexual abuse. I will have the participants skip this part, and maybe future editions of this book will take this out of the book (which is a collection of his writings about spiritual direction in one volume).
