We all have a soul in need f nurture

On Tuesday I was able to hear Dr. Thomas Moore speak at the annual Clergy-Physician luncheon at the W. W. Backus Hospital. Dr. Moore has written a couple of books on the care and nurture of the soul. He talked about the tremendous advances made in medicine and technology in the 20th Century but pointed out that we lagged behind in really having a heart to heart relationship to go with it. He noted that we left the human perspective out of our discussions and that will be addressed, needs to be addressed in the 21st century if we are to continue to thrive as a society.

Dr. Moore noted that it is the deep connections we make in the soul that are the most powerful. He advocated that we all take time to nurture the joy that God put in our hearts as we seek to live fulfilling lives. He definitely gave us all something to think about.
