This is one of the most beautiful and honest descriptions of baptism we’ve ever read. “Feet in the muck, head in the clouds” -- a perfect metaphor for the human condition. Thanks so much for sharing!

Loved reading this honest take on baptism and was so tickled by the date that seemed to choose you. The gospel of Mary Magdalene is worth looking into ❤️ glad I discovered your work

Thank you for sharing. Once again, beautiful and relatable. 🤍 (Mary Magdalene happens to be a character of special personal meaning to me too.)

Thank you for re-sharing this meditation. I was particularly captivates by the truth of your line "Renewal is nature’s default posture. "

I was baptized at 12 and still remember that sense of being suspended between heaven and earth for a moment in time.
