I found your Substack thru comments on Paul Kingsnorth’s Substack. I’m reading this on a snowy Friday evening in late winter / very early spring. What a lovely piece of writing; every paragraph feels like a discovery. Can’t wait to read more.

I'm so glad to have you here! A snowy evening sounds like a dream. I have to say here in the Arabian Gulf the weather will start heating up any minute so I'll have to live vicariously through your wintry nights.

Beautiful! All of it -- but these lines struck me especially this morning: "In the dream of Christianity it is apparent that God is not just in the big, splashy things, but in the small, seemingly inconsequential moments of our lives. He saturates our existence entire" -- so beautifully said: Amen, sister.

And thanks for sharing your suffering with us.
