David Frenette, author of *The Path of Centering Prayer: Deepening Your Experience of God* (Sounds True 2012), is a contemplative spiritual director, mentor for other spiritual directors, and spiritual writer. His spiritual father was the Trappist monk and founder of Centering Prayer, Father Thomas Keating. David is a seeker, a monk in the world, a lover of the living Christ, a devotee of the contemplative dimension of life, an appreciator of all meditation traditions, a wounded healer, an adult spiritual son to a revered saint, a recovering co-dependent (with God), a consort to his wife and her creative spiritual humor, a learner more than a master, an integralist who holds the map lightly, a struggler with a rare health condition, a grieving environmentalist, a late embracer of social action, an amazed witness to the radiant dance of life, its interdependence, endless suffering, and the divine journey into ordinary human personhood.
