Thoreau warned that our lives can become overcomplicated.

That we lose sight of what matters.

That we stop asking the deep questions altogether.

His life’s work was about waking us up.

~Henry David Thoreau PBS

how it seems when I lean in….

inquiry for today~ why will you say no?

the grit of nuanced living….

I define “sacred” as that which pulls us beyond the bounds of our individual selves,

envelops us within mystery, and gives us a glimpse into the vast,

entwined, eternal network of living beings that we are in relationship with. 

~Chelsea Steinauer-Scudder
