To Fall, Like Leaves, into Another Way

Dear Friends and Family,

These are troubling times, times of immense suffering and sorrow, times of chaos and uncertainty, times of angst, and for many, agony. Humanity is on our knees.

When I set out on this pilgrimage nearly a year ago, I did so to journey in solitude to stretch beyond the limits of my own pursuit of comfort and fall into the Deep within the deep of me, endeavoring to come to what is true. This is a lifelong journey, but my sense then and it is evermore so today that each of us in our own way is called to such depths if we are to become more fully human—because we are not yet fully human. This is the Great Work of our time.¹

It is sacred work. It is work we are called to—together—and with heart. Some might say it is the work of letting ourselves fall into another way. Today’s reflections are an evocation of the promise at the end of that fall, a promise, I hope, that lends hope.

Ever in gratitude and with love,

Renée
