Thanks, Steve. I love your description of the shared life. This is what I aspire to, possibly when I move to NC.

This is the message that called me off the tundra in Alaska to the rocky plateau in Colorado to learn what you are telling us. Your life’s work converged around simple principles that nourish and grow the deepest parts of my being. I discovered that soul care infuses the Gospel into our bodies. Through soul care I recognized Jesus within me and Jesus in the world today. The sabbath hinge pin, a lit candle, seeking beauty, human dignity, silence, curiosity, deep listening, spiritual friendships, carefully prepared bowls of soup, wordless music, poems, small bites of the Scriptures, circadian rhythms and the daily office. All of these are means of grace that have pointed me toward peace within and peace for others.
