His “Dwarves in the Stable” pretty much walked me through and out of a dark and scary place with one of my children.
Thank you for this post and David Brooks’s obit. Had not seen it.

Rebecca, it is a beautiful thing that you have read “Listening to Your Life” each day for 28 years. I am on my first trip round the sun with it, and I don’t plan to ever put it down. Xoxo

I was not surprised but heartened by your post today. I have read “Listening to Your Life” almost every day for 28 years and each time something new emerges. I have felt gut-punched since the news of his death. He had so many hematological references and I kind of feel as if I have bled out just knowing we do not share earthly soil. And so, thank you. The image of the beach and his sun-drenched hair in the photographs seemed just perfect for the day.

May your seas be calm tonight, my friend, as you look down on us with full but heavy hearts.

It’s Secrets in the Dark. I always say sermons because that’s what these were!
