Reflections and resources for the journey.
Becoming Elders
We are called to be “elders, to bear witness to the world as placeholders for peace, love, wisdom and fearlessness.
Passing on the Blessing
The promise – the blessing of the Holy One from the beginning of time – passes from one generation to the next in the story of Elizabeth and Mary.
Crossing Thresholds
Sometimes a threshold appears as dreams or intentions we have ignored too long. Sometimes we just know it is time to cross.
Hallowing our Diminishments
When we hallow or make holy our diminishments, honoring them and treating them gently, we live in our aging bodies with grace, rather than anger, morbidity, or denial.
