Thank you for this! I see one more change-- natural, but challenging. An example is as I walk with my parents, at 85 and almost 90, and witness the changes that aging brings (to me too!). Here is where both adaption and presence help me stay open, responsive, aware of what is, grateful.

Yes. We can bring Presence -- the presence of Love, Joy, and Gratefulness to all of life. Gratefulness -- Great Fullness, of the Brother David Steindl Rast variety.

That could possibly be the most radical act of them all.

Serendipity: In today's Mass in Canada the first reading was Jeremiah 38 when Jeremiah was thrown into a pit/prison and the King ultimately rebuked those who had done this and freed Jeremiah. This was followed by Psalm 40:3 "Lord put a new song into my mouth"....

Trump using federal troops to threaten, round up imprison innocent civilians needs to be revoked, hopefully by Trump himself.

Your words are like that breath, moving through my soul. Adapt, flow, ease...to these I add gather, love, and witness, and offer these to my community as we navigate in faith, the rocky waters...( sorry for mixing metaphors! ) I too am grateful!
