Such a beautiful image – I imagine a garden that is always growing and always losing the plot a little. We must tenderly tend to what we want our garden to be like. Thank you!

May it be so! I venture a guess that many of us peacemakers in progress fall victim to over functioning.

The word that jumped off the page at me was “over functioning”. I have this image of Matthew 11:28-30 and being yoked to Jesus but I am trying to take the lead, which we all know isn’t going to end well. So I will take this as the Holy Spirit speaking through you to me for some needed reflection and correction!

Thanks for honestly sharing yours. I like the concept that not tending to our values can lead to violating them.

Way to go! When I’m really mad at people, I use ChatGPT to write limericks about them… and they are *very* validating. Then I destroy them after reading. Though transparently sometimes I really do want to send them to the people…

Appreciate you naming your values– many of them resonate with me. I also love the imagery of “tending” to our values. That causes me to pause and wonder what does that tending look like? How are we wise stewards over our own internal resources?
