If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I am living for. In detail ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for – Thomas Merton
As we emerge from the global pandemic is it true that that more of us are asking this question “what am I living for”. And where are the resources for those who wish to embark on such a journey to rediscover who they are and what their hearts longing is, for this moment and beyond.
How can we come together to enable those who long for a new beginning, to embrace those who want to ask the bigger questions, the deeper questions about our world and themselves? Where can we express the unsaid and the unsayable in ourselves? Where can we share the burdens that keep us from living that full life that Merton was seeking. Every conversation is the first point of departure.
