I’m looking forward to the continued story. Also (surprise, surprise…) I related hard to your description of your young contemplative self. I remember feeling that way long before I had words for it. 💙

I think we might’ve been friends, no?

At the school where I work, our CEO often starts our professional development sessions with 5 minutes of silence. It's amazing how much it settles our hearts and minds. Such a needed practice in our speedy lives. I love hearing more about your childhood, can't wait for part 2!

Oh, I love that. Such a simple, small practice that’s so generous to us individually and communally.

This is the first time I’ve read one of your Shalomsick articles. Though I can’t delve into it sufficiently at this point, it brought a degree of inspiration I haven’t found in many of the “Christian” posts with which I’ve been familiar. I’ve always had a deep admiration for those who have relocated to another country, had to learn a new language, and discovered the process to be more enriching in the long run. Best wishes and Shalom
