The Open Heart in a World That Ends

The Open Heart in a World That Ends There is a particular stillness a person arrives with when they have decided, somewhere they cannot quite name, that the safest way through their life is to want less of it. They rarely say this out loud. It shows up instead as…

There comes a point in many people’s lives when they quietly, or sometimes desperately, ask themselves: Why am I still here? I have done the therapy. I have read the books. I have prayed, reflected, journaled, learned, and tried. So why do I still feel caught in the same patterns?…
