Commune, converse and care in a soulful life

Yesterday I watched a video of Thomas Moore’s 2006 presentation, "Healing Through Illness: Celebrting Art & Life" that he delivered at the University of Minnesota. It is a moving acknowledgement of the role illness can play in our attempts to live meaningfully each day. Recently, Utne Reader emailed links that support Moore’s observations about living a more soulful and engaged life:
