Words get used up. Politicans and the world of advertising may be the greatest killers of meaning that a word can have. These sentences are by way of saying that one such word is "spirituality." Most of us use the word freely, and I'm wondering just what we mean by it when we do use it. We speak of spiritual traditions, about spirituality and business, about spirituality and healing, etc. I talk about PW as a secular spiritual practice.

For openers, of what I hope will be an inspiring conversation, whatever we mean by spirituality, we also imply a practice of some sort--prayer, meditation, ritual observances, etc. Why is discipline so central, do you think?
