Meditation on passive verbs & counterfactuals
Feeling calmer now

I love this picture, don't you? The light... the tone... the contrasts...the soft brown and peach colors... and of course the idea of continuing revelation... #lectiodivina #quaker
It’s arrived! I got myself this small notebook for my Lectio Divina project on No Cross No Crown. Can’t wait to get started! 🕯️ 📖
