Dear Friends,

Sight, both physical and spiritual, is one of the most vital senses we have. Our language reveals as much: “Do you see what I mean?” “In a dark time, the eyes begin to see (Theodore Roetke).” “I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.” “When can I go and see the face of God?” (Ps. 42)

Our spring 2010 programs will fine tune the art of seeing as we search for in-sight about the meaning of our world’s suffering and the direction one’s life might take. We will look for wisdom through the landscapes of art and the earth and in the rich spiritual traditions of the Celts. We will probe the meaning of the cosmic Christ through the lens of evolution. As Mary Oliver’s poem, “The Veil,” reveals, the ability to see is itself transformative:

There are moments when the veil seems
almost to lift, and we understand what
the earth is meant to mean to us – the
trees in their docility, the hills in
their patience, the flowers and the
vines in their wild, sweet vitality.

Then the Word is within us, and the
Book is put away.

It takes many “eyes” to see the breadth and the depth of life. We welcome your perspective as we gather this spring!

Sincerely,

Barbara E. Quinn, RSCJ
