Today, comes some beauty and wisdom from the late author and poet John O Donohue on the topics of connection, separation, embodiment, grief, and the threshold our soul crosses into belonging and a few of my own reflections. His words are deeply poignant, so, please visit his website, and follow the links listed below for even more interaction with his work. His accent is a delightful treat as well.

Soul School – Lesson 43: Locating Hell & Heaven – CS Lewis

Welcome to Spark My Muse!

It’s a beautiful thing we have going. I bring you something to enjoy and you give me some money. Thanks for your generousity, today.

Today is SOUL SCHOOL. It comes to you EACH WEDNESDAY.
(aka Midweek or “hump day”)

What do we mean, if anything, by the words heaven and hell outside of post-mortem propositions?

Could the concepts mean something for us in this world, before we die? Something about our state of mind or how we live?

I found an intriguing podcast episode about CS Lewis’ short book The Great Divorce on the Kindling Podcast and I wanted to share a piece of it with you as well as some of my own thoughts. Please listen to the whole Kindlings episode linked below when you get the chance. I hope you like this installment of Soul School. Pass it on to someone who might like it too.
