I loved everything about this. Matthew’s words really resonated- especially because I’m realizing how spiritually hungry I am these days. I love his organic approach.
This series is going to be great, I can just tell!
Matthew's words resonate deeply. I love the part about health meaning mind, body, and spirit. This gets so overlooked I think. The path of yoga really taught me that the body is a reflection of our mind and spirit, they are so inextricably linked. And I love Matthew's description of a beautiful life ❤️
Wow, did I savor this. One impactful gem after another. Dana, thank you for introducing me to Matthew’s beautiful words and wisdom! Such as this stunner below:
“What strikes me, looking at all three of those at once, is how little they have to do with each other on the surface and how much they have to do with each other underneath. The walking clears my head enough to actually pray instead of just reciting. The reading gives me language for what I’m feeling in church on Sunday. The church work reminds me why any of the rest of it matters. Nourishment, it turns out, isn’t three separate meals. It’s one meal with three courses.”
I really loved this. Thank you. I’m taking a spiritual journey myself which feels really risky, and makes no sense, but it’s where I’m drawn and I need more in person community. I’m scared to death, full of doubt… and reading Matthew’s words (and your words and example too, Dana) feel supportive. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Absolutely beautiful words. Matthew spoke what my heart feels. I am seeking that kind of balance that he describes. You and Matthew are the kind of writers that can pull thoughts from my brain and make me realize what it is my heart is trying to tell me to say and do! Loved every letter of it! Very thought provoking and inspiring.
“Listen to birds instead of notifications.” YES!
