Over the last few months, I have fallen prey to the panic of urgency and the paralysis of perfectionism. The intersection of these two is a painful and dangerous place to be stuck. And so I am stopping for a brief sabbath, a pause to reorient myself and gather resources.
Also, writing about the system work needed to reclaim our humanity has been daunting. It’s taking more prayer and time than I’d thought. Here is the beginning of the series from last week.
There won’t be a blog post this week, and next week, I’ll post a sermon I preached for Holy Week several years ago. I’ll return on April 21st, and will also have an Earth Day piece in The Resistance Prays, for whom I have been writing for a couple of years.
With gratitude,
-Rev. Jess
