I've been finding hope in chickens, pumpkins, nasturtiums that haven't died yet,and walking, shepherding children as they run across a field into woods and back out again, climbing maybe too high in that tree. Do you feel safe? I ask them. How do you know?
Asha, I've written a few thoughtful responses to you, but always give up to some kind of snafu logging in, so they are scattered to an unseen corner of the universe. I will just tell you that what you've been writing resonates with me this year. Ha! And I just remembered you using the word "resonate" that way at Quaker House. It was the first time I'd noticed hearing the word use that way and I thought, what a useful word. We can't give up.
I've barely scratched the surface, but I am already a huge fan of your topics!! My pieces are an avenue for young adult seekers to grow more curious about God and the gospel (without preaching and scaring them away). Wondering if you and I could connect and collaborate?
Thanks for sharing this. Damn, you were a globally aware child! I would have been one of the clueless for sure. (And that's okay with me. I think children need to be children, unaware of world events that will cause them stress, fear and helplessness too early in life). My hope definitely lies in the pleasure of being present in all the small tasks that require doing at my mini homestead. The balance between mental and physical movement is critical. Too much of one or the other and we exhaust ourselves.
CONGRATULATIONS, ASHA! You made the Leaderboard, woman! And well-deserved!
