I have come to love the times that I can, "falling through to meet the one I always knew could be", and be that place for which there are really no words in my own vocabulary. Holding you and your teaching in my prayers; thank you.

I very much enjoy anamchara.com and only wish I lived in Atlanta area and could get to particpate in some of your teachings and retreats. Love your idea of offering columns about Cistercian spirituality. Having lived for many years in the 'real' world and maintaining a frenetic pace related to ego ideals, consumerism, goal setting, acquisition, etc., I know the value of all that the Cistercian way of life offers. Everything you listed deserves a column, especially if you can offer practical suggestions related to how people transition out of the values of our current culture and into a life of simplicity, balance, silence, service, JOY. Sharing your experience, strength, and hope is a great gift to your readers. Thank you! Blessings and thanks - Janet G., New York City Hi Carl: Thank you for all your rich articles and insights.

You wrote this article for me. I've been chewing on this for a while. As a grower, i see things seasonally in an ebb and flow of life. There's a time to gather and a time to declutter. I'm presently in a season of decluttering. On the other hand, as I write everyday, the papers are piling up;-) I love Xorin's idea's on Soul Space. Passing this one on! Thank You Carl.

When I started writing about Christian Meditation, I thought I was alone all alone in this. I'm thrilled to find a whole community. It's a little overwhelming to see all the resources you've amassed. God Bless You In Your Heart of Hearts! Bob Carl,

Re-posting it on Facebook. I've just discovered you, and I'm soaking in The Big Book of Christian Mysticism. Carl, You write like a scholar who has just exited the libraries of the ancients, shaking the dust off his clothes. Love it! Carl,

Certainly worth sharing with others. Thanks so much for telling us about this film. The slide show, though lacking the sound of the movie excerpt, has even closer up views. Fanatastic!

I just looked up Julian of Norwich and see that they have her Revelations of Divine Love for download in iTunes. I wonder if you have listened to it?
