I love this, Elizabeth! It made me think of Maria Von Trapp and her family as they fled their homeland with nothing. As they established a home here, it was their liturgical traditions that grounded them.
Her book is on my TBR list! We’ve even visited the lodge in Stowe, VT where they settled in the US. The mountains must have been a beautiful view as they rooted themselves in a new place with familiar traditions.
As always, I find myself nodding through this whole piece!! What a breath of fresh air. We recently celebrated Stir-Up Sunday a week 'late,' and as I read this piece today, I was so delighted to see how we'd arrived at such similar conclusions. No due dates, no deadlines!
Especially in this era of curation, thank you for always emphasizing the beautiful, messy reality of life - and the way the calendar can weave through it all.
