What have you wanted so badly, however out of reach it seemed, so badly you could taste it?  Reaching forward toward, straining for, what really matters and leaving behind anything else, what the Apostle Paul called skubala (dung). Jack London. The powerful image one of the psalmists envisioned of a deer panting for water; that's how thirsty we are without God who alone can quench our spiritual thirst.  The energy of that deer metaphor applies to other spiritual endeavors that get us to God, one of which is keeping spirituality community healthy. Episode Art:  "Woman Runner Running, Jumping," Pablo Romero captures, though not the artist's intent, the energy of the Apostle Paul's image of straining forward with one's all toward life's ultimate goal.
