Status Updates From Stone Yard Devotional

“When I think about the phases of my life, it is as a series of rooms behind me. Each with a door to a previous room left open, behind which is another room and another and another.

The rooms are not quite empty, not exactly dark but they are shadowy with indistinct shapes.”

“When you’re inside a church I’ve realized, it’s impossible to see out.

There are no clear windows. Light streams in through the stained glass making colored lozenges on the floor.”

😍❤️🥰

“Being here feels somehow like childhood.

Nothing expected. “

“All these interruptions - day in day out. Having to drop what you are doing and toddling to church every couple of hours? Then I realize - it’s not an interruption to the work. It is the work. This is the doing.”

🥰❤️😍

This book is aptly titled. It’s so meditative and beautifully written. Wow!

Great place to land after all the chaos from my last read 🤣
