    Vol. 3 Issue 3: "Spirit in Practice"

    Spring 2002

    This issue of Reflections could not be timelier. Not because there is an ever greater need for spirituality in the world, but because there is more readiness for it. There are many faces to spirituality, and it is often equated with religion. The variety of articles, essays, poems, and practices in this issue show that this is not our stance. The collection here helps us see how spirit, or any way we chose to describe our essential being, is at the center of our relationships in life and work, whether we choose to acknowledge it or not. One overarching theme that is carried across the issue is “interconnectedness” — The Reflections team
