In The Deep Place of the Spirit

I read Sam Keen’s book Hymns To An Unknown God about ten years ago and it is still among my favorite books to draw inspiration from:  

“Road-weary, overwhelmed by the magnitude of the difficulties we face during our brief days, we are tempted to despair or to settle for cheap optimism. But in the deep place of the spirit, we are moved and called forth to undertake this ongoing adventure by the yearning, restless and creative One who – though called by the ten thousand names of God – is still clothed in marvelous silence.” – Sam Keen: Hymns To An Unknown God

Daily Inspiration: The Quest

“I have come to believe that “the quest” is a metaphor for the willingness to live and wrestle with the perennial questions that underlie the mythic answers that religion offers. My “question” is the “quest I’m on.” – Sam Keen, Hymns to an Unknown God: Awakening The Spirit In Everyday Life.

Daily Inspiration: Only I

Only I can discover my spirit and make myself free. Only I can take the existential leap, make the decision that carries me beyond what I was yesterday (and what every expert would predict I would be tomorrow) and do a new thing. – Sam Keen, Hymns to an Unknown God: Awakening The Spirit In Everyday Life.

Daily Inspiration: The Ordinary

“Understanding that the ordinary is the miracle changes our fundamental stance and disposition. Life is no longer a problem to be solved but a mystery in which we may participate fully.” – Sam Keen, Hymns to an Unknown God: Awakening The Spirit In Everyday Life.
