While Scott is on vacation he is sharing meditations from the Living Compass app. Here is a beautiful meditation from Westina Matthews, a noted spiritual director, retreat leader, and author.
You may know the phrase "catch and release" as it applies to fishing. In this meditation, Westina expands on this phrase as it applies to one's spiritual life.
*Westina Matthews, PhD is an author, a public speaker, spiritual director, professor, and workshop/retreat leader whose practice reflects contemplative living through “holy listening”. For the past twelve years, Westina taught contemplative spiritual direction at General Theological Seminary in the Center for Christian Spirituality.
