May 6: Soul – Pilgrimage of ResurrectionA Creative Journey through the Easter Season

Word for Today: Soul

The monastic cell is a central concept in the spirituality of the desert elders. The outer cell is really a metaphor for the inner cell, a symbol of the deep soul work we are called to in order to become fully awake. It is the place where we come into full presence with ourselves.

—Christine Valters Paintner, The Soul of a Pilgrim: Eight Practices for the Journey Within
