When the spiritual collides with the secular.
Sr. Linda-Susan Beard doesn't have more lives than the rest of us. It just seems that way.
She's a co-founder of the Emmaus Monastery, a canonical, monastic and contemplative Benedictine community located on an 80-acre farm in Vestaburg MI, which focuses on developing Christian leaders. She's also an associate professor of English at Bryn Mawr College PA.
Splitting her time between Michigan and Pennsylvania, Beard feels the poverty of wealth and of spirit in her dual locations. Living in the second poorest county in Michigan, she celebrates the human wealth that's abundant despite material poverty. Driving 16 hours to teach at a college located near Philadelphia's million dollar suburbs, Beard is struck by the poverty of spirit there despite abundant material wealth.
"Concentric Circles and Holy Collision" keynoted the June National Association of Women in Catholic Higher Education (NAWCHE) conference at Providence College RI.
Concentric circles
"I live in several worlds, discrete worlds," said Beard. "My challenge is to think of the places that overlap."
The elements of her life are like most of ours, cyclical and developmental, familiar and moving back and forth between transparency and opacity. They lead us to ask new questions about our own lives and vocations. When they focus our attention on the choices we make, Beard refers us to Shakespeare's "life-living formula" about being true to thine own self.
