Intimate Meanderings, a book by Morgan Zo-Callahan & friends

Dan Berrigan, our great friend and contributor, says, "This book is an amazing potpourri of wisdom. I am so grateful to you and the friends. Intimate Meanderings should be required reading in every Jesuit tent." We hope our book finds its way into your tent too. We have attempted to start, or enhance, conversations about some of life’s concerns that are worth talking about: hospice care in the context of living life fully; western and eastern spirituality, from Buddhist meditation practice to modern reflections on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius; taking action and making a difference in the world as spiritual practice; and working with the paths of teaching and creativity.

A website is not the same as being able to go into a bookstore where you pick up book, and thumb through it, but in an attempt to recreate some of that experience, we’ve posted articles, poems, reflections, and conversations from the book. They are all offered in the spirit of friendship.

Among the friends who shared their perspectives in Meanderings are several former Jesuits and one Jesuit, Buddhists, Christians with strong Buddhist leanings, Hindus, women, activists, academics and teachers. We are: Rufina Amaya, Dan Berrigan, Gene Bianchi, Bob Brophy, Morgan Zo-Callahan, "Ed," Don Foran, Sam Haycraft, Ken Ireland, Jiyu-Kennet, Bob Kaiser, John Lounibos, Don Maloney, Doug McFerran, Joe Mitchell, Eng Moy, Robert Rahl, Elizabeth Russell, Gary Schouborg, Rebecca Sheppard, Joyce Sin, Dilip Trasi, Nitin Trasi, Dave W. Van Etten, and Harry Wu.
