New issue: GATHER
Claim your trusted tribe.
Where do you belong? Who celebrates your {whole} self, with no reservations?
Oh, beloved, we do: We are gatherers. Of soul and space. Of kindness and kin. Of rawness and real. Of grit and grace.
We welcome you, brave kindred. We welcome you, tenderhearted one. We welcome you, seeker of all things true. Come in. Come in.
“Our understanding was like this, a deeper knowing, even when our surface views differed. We were family of the highest order, shifting space in homes and hearts for the bigness of each other, the wildness of personality meeting in the middle over shared love . . .”
“From the inside of broken community, it can feel like there’s nothing on the outside. That leaving is walking straight into isolation. [...] You find your community by being true to yourself. I spent too long lingering in places that didn’t fit . . .”
We ache, we sing, we unite as one. We Gather.
