Blog of the Grateful Bear

ramblings of a freelance panentheist {"all things are in God, and God is in all things"} . . . musings on Emergent spirituality, powerlifting, LGBTQueer issues, contemplative prayer, mysticism, cats, music, healing, and more. I like my coffee and my existentialism dark-roasted.

Into the Mystic Blogosphere


Dear friend and fellow blogger Carl McColman has been very busy lately, as pictured above. He is updating his excellent pages on mysticism and spiritual formation at his Website of Unknowing:

Spiritual Formation

Mystics (with links to Carl’s bios of Julian of Norwich, Walter Hilton, and the anonymous author of The Cloud of Unknowing)

I remember falling in love with Carl’s website on the mystics several years before I ever met him. These pages were offline for a while, and I’m glad Carl is resurrecting and updating them.

Elsewhere in the mystic blogosphere . . .

Betty Conrad Adam, author of The Magdalene Mystique, has posted a wonderful example of interfaith dialogue at her blog, The Magdalene Mystique: The Path Inward (the July 11th entry, “Conversations with Aman”).

A new cyberfriend, Mother Wintermoon, has posted an entry about the beautiful gnostic poem Thunder, Perfect Mind, at her blog, Romancing the Crone. Check out her July 11th entry, “Words of an Ancient Goddess.”

And at their always thoughtful (and heart-ful) blog Graceful Presence, Meredith and Joe have posted wonderful poems about two topics dear to my heart: coffee (the June 30th entry, “Philosophy”) and meditating with cats (the June 2nd entry, “Furry Friend”).
