At the center of human life is a deep longing of our hearts for God. But in these days of turbulence and distraction, the heart’s true longing is too often overwhelmed by so many other things.

This site is dedicated to answering the call of our hearts. And I hope you’ll not only read, but will participate with questions and musings and challenges. I hope you and I will help inspire an open and global movement of “active spirituality”—people around the world living and loving and changing this world from the deep inner resources of real oneness with God.

Prayer is a return of the heart to God, a return of our hearts to their true center. Lived from this center, life is prayer. And prayer is not for religious virtuosos, spiritual athletes, monk and saints. Living prayer is available to the most ordinary person who seeks to apprentice in the Way. Most believers know they ought to pray. Many believers long for a deeper intimacy with God. Others seek a deep inner power for active service in this troubled world. But few have genuine companions to show them the way.

I hope this site and those who join in this journey become companions for us all as we seek to live a life of real prayer in the midst of our busy and often fragmented lives.

I pray this place can show a way for us to return to the center—to a life of wisdom and love, holiness and humanness lived on this ragged edge of today’s changing world.
