Personal Guidance

Seven mountains, seven rivers — the land has order and rhythm. Spiritual life also flourishes within structure. The same number of mountains and rivers in island after island reminds us: structure is not bondage, it is the shape of fruitfulness.

Reflection Questions

Where am I resisting structure that would actually let my devotion flourish?
What 'seven rivers' (regular practices) carry water through my own life?
