What will stay with me:
� gentle invitations to really look at the world in front of us
� her apt way of describing the sense of disconnection that many of us feel after living through Covid

Lines I underlined:

“That is what I am searching for, the chance to merge into the wild drift of the world, to feel overcome, to enter into its weft so completely that sometimes I can forget myself.�

“How do we worship now? How do we get past the blunt knowing of our disenchanted age and tap back into the magic that we used to perceive everywhere?�

“We need to double down on the storytelling, and find new ways to tell out our meanings. Perhaps that is what we’re meant to do, remake our stories until we finally find one that fits.�

“Certainties harden us, and eventually we come to defend them, as if the world can’t contain a multiplicity of views. We are better off staying soft. It gives us room to grow and absorb, to make space for all the other glorious notions that will keep coming at us across a lifetime.�
