"My tongue sticks to the roof of my grief." That's a line you can hang robes on.

This is such a beautiful translation/ transmission. Thank you for staring into the fire long enough to pull this out.

I cried both anguished tears

Tears of surrender

Tears of trust & joy

The first time I read it & reading it again

Thank you

For all of the psalms of unraveling

This one from the God-forsaken place rings so true

(Sometimes truer than i wish it did……)

A gift 💝

Brought tears to my eyes. It is the train of thought, the answer to big questions that I have been seeking. How can a loving God allow so much suffering? Or how can we endure the suffering and still have faith, love, and hope? Reading this, I am fortified. Thank you.

“All the ends of the earth

will remember

Not convert

Not perform

Remember”

A prayer in itself

May all the ends of the earth Remember

Not convert

Not perform

Remember

Who’s crying. I’m not crying. You’re crying. ❤️

I just listened to Richard Rohr speaking about descent an hour ago. This rhymes. Both break the heart open.

Good Teacher, your writings have strengthened my faith that God is with us — & we can be with God — through any circumstances. Many thanks.🌸
