Without Seeking Where Would We Be?
There is nothing more central to a spiritual life than to cultivate the posture of a seeker.
Can you think of a time you’ve been lost? I mean completely lost and on your own. I remember a time like that for me in the subways of London – at midnight. There’s something about being lost that focuses the mind and energy. Of course, my goal that night in London was to find where I was going. My seeking that night had a purpose; to be found and end my seeking.
However, there is another kind of seeking that has a very different role in life. It’s the seeking that comes when we embark on a life of love, wisdom, and spirituality. That kind of seeking also has a quality of “lostness” attached to it. But the end goal is not to be “found” and terminate the search. The search for a deeply lived spirituality is an ongoing one – one that enriches life the more we pursue it.
Over the month of May (2021), the Aldea community will explore what it means to be a seeker of spirituality. We believe this to be so central to life that we look at this idea once a year. May is that month for this year. Join us as we consider the seeker’s way and how the path of a seeker makes all the difference to the quality of our lives and relationships.
As we consider this important topic, each week we’ll provide and post:
- Weekly thoughts/blogs about the topic of the week
- A weekly podcast that focuses on the topic of the week
- A reflective guide you can use for individual or group exploration
