Sometimes I don’t even realize I’m walking away from something good, from something I want. It just happens. A thought triggers an action and all the sudden I wonder where I’ve gone. Where is the love that holds my fragile pieces together? Why don’t I feel that presence I used to? Why am I not …

Through Darkness
Fingers slip between mine; they are rough and worn, scarred and torn But I cannot see For they begin to pull and lead me through a dark unknown This territory is grooved and winding, like the lines on this hand But I know this touch, I do; I know the promise of this …
Interview with an Adventurer: Leon Logothetis, Author and Host of “The Kindness Diaries”
Last week I watched a series I happened upon “by accident” on Netflix called The Kindness Diaries. When I selected it on my remote, all I knew about it was what the short description offered, something like: A man travels across the globe with nothing but a vintage motorbike with the intention to rely solely …
Denial: Losing it all to Find it all
If you read through the gospels, it’s clear from the words that Jesus speaks and even the way that he lives that he calls his followers to a life of denial. Utter abandon, really. Leave everything and follow me. Hate your mother and your brother, and enter my kingdom. Sell all you have, then come …

The Ocean’s Invitation
The place of love. It’s the secret place where you just are, and it’s enough. It’s the place inside where you know and you are known, and if you learn to abide there, you can’t be thrown by anxieties that toss themselves up in front of you like the waves of an ocean. I really …
Life on the Edge
It’s amazing how comfortable the edge can feel when you know who you are. When all former needs, expectations, and wounds are left behind. When you’ve instead chosen to embrace the new creation inside of you, the one that is whole and entirely secure no matter what loss once tried to take from you. When …
Never Left
Like mist on a roaring night He came in through violent cries Soft, innocent, simple Like a snowflake on your cheek And yet he held Earth’s destiny in his tiny clenched fist Bright star, dispelling hopelessness, The promised King came forth in innocence Peace confronted violence And yet his love was brutal and his purpose …
Like a Child: Learning to Live in the Father’s Embrace
Like a child. This is the call, the challenge, of the Christian. Children are those who have a lot to learn, and yet they are unashamed. Until they have been taught otherwise, they will go after what they want. Until they learn to fear, they will take daring risks that adults wouldn’t dream of. Are …
