Familiarity as Facade / John O’Donohue [SSL161]

Today, I’m reading an excerpt from John O’Donohue’s gorgeous, instant classic from 1997, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom. The eternal is nearer to us than anything; just as the most familiar can be, or become, the most unknown. Let us pierce the facade of the familiar in order that we don’t grow deadened.

Inert Ways of Knowing / Parker Palmer [SSL160]

Today, I’m reading some excerpts from Parker Palmer’s classic Courage to Teach. Using his wisdom to give insights for our times, I want to expand how we consider each other, communicate and move forward through the challenges of our times. Objective knowing is inert and leads to objectification and distance—there are better ways.
