Taking Notes – Advent Day 2: Hope

December 4, 2023 by Jennifer

It’s been a hard go for lots of reasons that won’t be said here now. But sad weighs heavy.

Voices I spent time with today……

The first step in healing is allowing your story to break your own heart. 
– Katherine Wolf, The Good Hard Story Podcast Ep 42.

More and more, any practice of hope I have is really a practice in memory. 
– Cole Arthur Riley in conversation with Amanda Held Opelt on Holy Unhappiness Podcast

These bleak and freezing seasons may mean grace
When they are memory
. In time to come
When we speak truth, then they will have their place,
Telling the story of our journey home….

– Malcolm Guite “Because We Hunkered Down”
