Faith Venture

This morning I am sitting at a table in a room full of tables populated with about 300 engineers. The presenters are talking about how to use digital data to transform product development and eventually business.

This is similar to our journey of developing and using spiritual practices—study, prayer, meditation, service, and the like.

When we pause and look back over our lives, we can observe how our practices have changed how we live. We have, so to speak, undergone a transformation from someone a little or a lot lost, directionless, drifting through life with the development and habits of our practices.

I have seen how many years of meditation, for example, have changed my inner workings from insecure and anxious to calmer (not perfect) with a broader understanding of people. I have learned tolerance and empathy.

It is never too late to begin a spiritual practice. Let the engineers talk about digital transformation. We can practice personal transformation. And it never ends.

[Side note: I just received a notification that 16 years ago today I started this blog on WordPress. That, in itself, was a transformation.]
