I read and loved the same Tsh Oxenrieder essay. And I copied the same paragraph into my seasonal reflections journal. I’ve really struggled over the years to rewrite my childhood narrative that hard = wrong and found this essay very helpful.
So much good stuff here! I'm teaching a Contemplative Prayer Practice Series at my church during Lent and I think I will incoporate your Praying in Color as a resource for them!
This makes me think of Eugene Peterson's book Eat This Book, so so good. What a lovely post! Thanks for sharing and excited to read more of your work!
Thanks for those encouraging words! And that book by Eugene Peterson is on my to-read list, so maybe this is my nudge to get to it!
