When we offer comfort in tough times to a friend or neighbor, or are comforted by them. When we&#8217;re so fed up with what is, that we know we have to be a part of what could be. The Source that calls us has many names. When we answer the call we live with greater compassion and peace. We awaken. We know hope, not cynicism. At WellSprings, that&#8217;s what spirituality is all about. We believe spiritual growth brings the kind of joy found not in things or in possessions, but in living fully, loving generously, and being who we are called to be.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Rev.
