I’m a huge fan of the radio program Speaking of Faith, hosted by Krista Tippett.  During my recent heoric road trip — heoric because I was driving an ‘87 Toyota Corolla — from San Diego to Chicago, I listened to several episodes of Speaking of Faith.  Here are a few episodes I really enjoyed:

+ The Ecstatic Faith of Rumi |  Rumi was a 13th-century Muslim mystic and poet, and he wrote about love in an incredibly evocative, provocative and profound way.  I want to read more of his stuff!

+ Brother Thay:  A Radio Pilgrimage with Thich Nhat Hanh | I love and greatly admire this Zen Buddhist monk, who’s now in his eighties.  I’m blown away by how deeply and profoundly he understands and embodies love.

+ The Soul in Depression | Tippett, who has struggled with depression, interviewed a few people who experienced spirituality in a new way through their struggle with crippling depression.  One of the people Tippett interviewed is author Parker Palmer, who wrote the books Let Your Life Speak and A Hidden Wholeness.

There are so many more fantastic episodes, and you can download them or listen online.  Check out the archive.
