Hi Kathy! Thank you for mentioning “Crossing the Bar.” I’m not sure I know that poem, but I want to. Mary Oliver reminds me all the time of the most important truths. I read from her Devotions almost every day. It’s kind of surprising to me that Richard Rohr has been tolerated by the church… I love that there is room for him to stay in his tradition, and speak to so many others outside of it. Xoxo
