Love Takes the Winding Road
Love rarely travels in a straight line. We tell ourselves we know where it’s heading—that if we listen closely enough, or work hard enough, we can predict what will unfold. But love has its own impulses. Its own timing. Its own shape. It bends where we expect it to run smooth. It tangles where we want clarity. It surprises us, even when we think we’ve prepared ourselves for every turn. This week I found myself holding two songs that speak to this truth in very different ways

Three Good Things, Three New Things
I often talk with people about practices that help us pause, breathe, and come back to what’s real.

The Beauty of Community: From Busytown to Being Human
“We are not meant to do life alone.” Lately, I’ve been reflecting on what it means to live in community — not just in theory, but in the simple, daily rhythms of being human together. Three voices keep coming to mind: Richard Scarry’s Busytown , Thomas Hübl’s teachings on community and collective healing, and bell hooks’ vision of building community through love. Each, in their own way, points to a truth I keep returning to: life is lived best in community . 1. The Simple, Co
