Walter shared some reflections on the lectionary readings from a couple of weeks ago, especially the encouragement of Jesus to focus on being “rich toward God” rather than wasting time on things that don’t matter. Lots of poetry (Rilke and Rumi) were a part of the encouragement to listen to our deepest loves and longings in order to remember what matters.
Jess Williams reflects on home and the longings of the heart that led her to St. Stephen. She talks about loving her heart for leading her well, and how her (sometimes messy!) life, and belonging to this community is teaching her to let go of perfectionism (fear!) and trust that our belovedness has nothing to do with what we are able to achieve or perform.
