"Those who drink of the water that I give them will never be thirsty." (John 4:14) The theme of my sabbatical, "Sitting By the Well," September-November 2010, is drawn from this text--and this promise. Thanks to my family and congregation, as well as a generous grant from The Louisville Institute, I will quench my spiritual thirst through the grace of four renewing practices: writing; yoga; centering prayer; beholding creation. This blog will chronicle my experiences.

Balance
This morning as we prepared to enter tree pose, the yoga teacher told us that balance takes practice. Most people don't just take one foot off the floor and rest it against the knee of the opposite leg. You have to work at that! Some days it's easier than others, and often one side is more balanced than another. But practice helps. That's what sabbatical feels like at this point (ten days before it begins): an opportunity to practice balance.
