So many lines in here to quote! It feels like there are very few principled people left. It’s comforting to come to these small corners of the Internet and find some truth.

What a wonderful experience for you getting to talk with Father Rohr! It's mind boggling how timely his book is and hopefully it will quench our dry souls, make us think and lift us up. Thanks for sharing Elise.

Such a poignant and timely message (though I think this message has always been timely, throughout history). Rohr is one of my most beloved teachers- thank you so much for this!

He's really something, isn't he?

In a world where influence and outrage are often mistaken for wisdom, this is such a refreshing and much-needed perspective. Thank you for writing this!

Elise - you write not of roght or wrong but of essences, the foundational unchanging aspects of our lives. An effort that may terrify some and inspire others. Yes these are wintery times of storms and destruction but winter alos germinates and strengthens the buried seedlings of springs blossoms. And this too peeks through your thoughts and understandings.

Personally I am proud of your voice for its strength and virtue. Barry
