John Updike

Ben Myers offers an obituary of John Updike that is so beautifully written I will be taking Updike novels and Barth's commentary on the Romans on holiday with me.

Richard over at Connexions pointed Ben's article out - thanks Richard.

Welcome

Thanks for visiting 'Sacred Wells'. Wells are places of refreshment and encounter - this blog is such a place. A space for murmurings and musings about all those things that help us to connect with our spiritual selves. What are the things that warm our hearts, take us beyond ourselves, inspire us, energise us? What makes people generous and courageous? As a Christian I have a particular spin on all this, but I want to explore what helps people make sense of life, death, joy, pain.

Art, poetry, music, nature love and fun make life richer for me and help me connect with the transcendant. What moves and inspires you? Can traditional religion offer something that helps you connect with God and with your spiritual self? I hope you will meet me at the well and share refreshment and company - do add your thoughts.
