The Healthy Spiritual Journey • August 2025 – The Healing Power of Kindness
The science of medicine, done well, is a powerful healer; but there is also healing power in kindness. They heal synergistically. Science and compassion, working together, produce a healing effect greater than the sum of their individual parts. If medical students understand this, they become the best doctors. They become the doctors we want for our healthcare and for the healthcare of our family and friends.

The Healthy Spiritual Journey • July 2025 – Our Great Cloud of Witnesses
Most every morning, as I awaken, I greet my great cloud of witnesses. This is a time of meditation in which I silently call their names, realizing that I have forgotten (or do not even know) the names of many more. We all have clouds of witnesses, people who were on earth and left footprints for us to follow, but have preceded us into the life ever after. They are faithful, spiritual witnesses who accompany us on our journey. Their legacy helps to inform our actions.

A Reflection for the Season of Renewal
She didn’t usually come in early, but this morning felt different. Maybe it was the quiet of Good Friday, or the fact that the sky was just beginning to lighten when she pulled into the hospital parking lot. She sat in her car for a few minutes, sipping coffee that had gone lukewarm, watching a few staff trickle in. For a moment, there was no rush—just space to breathe.

The Healthy Spiritual Journey • April 2025 – Quiet Please – God is Talking
Springtime, with its abundant new life, gives us reminders to be aware of the many opportunities to live and love gratefully. God is ever-present, helping us to grow in divine ways. We just need to wait for those moments of sheer silence - as did Elijah - and remind ourselves “Quiet Please – God is Talking.”
