Yes and amen to the notion that we cannot borrow someone else’s ache. My hunch is deepening that within each of us exists an ache that is unique to who and how we are. And that part of our journey as peacemakers is to discover it, name it, interrogate it, understand it, and befriend it. What you’ll find in this particular cohort, is that ache won’t dissipate…it will only deepen…and become a part of the fuel of your restorative practice. I’m eager to watch and learn with you and from you as your ache surfaces.

That phrase really stood out: “ like-minded, solidarity with others” I have such an anticipation, a genuine excitement about all that I am going to learn from you, and all the others in this group, with such unique backgrounds and skills and talents. Thank you.

I appreciate your perspective on this “one wildly precious gift of life.” Each day is pilgrimage toward transformation (to borrow language from today’s session). Your thoughts give me pace to take each moment intentionally and not look too far ahead.

What a beautiful reminder of the season of Lent and how it is such a beautiful way to start this journey. Sammy, I so resonate with your feelings of inadequacy, and then I just love your turn towards the contentedness of the wait. I join with you in waiting for a genuine, unique call. Looking forward to seeing how this journey continues to form you.
