This reminds me of a moment decades ago when we were in the Adirondacks with family. Jena was playing at the edge of a lake. We were about to go to town for something or other. I can’t remember just what she was doing but I asked her to step back as she was getting her shoes wet. She responded that it was okay —- “None water not wet!”

Thank you, Patty. Just what I needed to read this morning, from you, the person who taught me how to sit with the discomfort of the brokenness and the yearning for wholeness, union.
