What a lovely poem about the contemplative life, something I am always trying to live. And I’ve discovered a new poet and a author. Looking forward to reading more.

We are mortal. God is here,

What helps you not to worry?

Sometimes we don’t have time for the slow stuff.

I feel seen.

The list, my star rating, and some notes. In 2018 I started trying to keep a count and list of all the books I read in a year, in addition to the longer entries about particular books.

A description of grief.

Works for me. What works for you?

Our anniversary saga.

Good book. And it’s about despair, which Christian Wiman is more than qualified to write about.

Perplexed lamb- that’s how I feel!

A Greek word that has me thinking about thinking.

I’ve always loved pictures of Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth, when the baby leapt for joy in the womb.

Wow.

This poem seems so true.

More comforting and real to me…

A new perspective on the word “power.”

I like this use of “computer-ese” for living mindfully.

So true…

Cracks me up.
