I took struggle with sitting quietly even though I do love to curl up and relax. I love to be productive and if I can't then I mindlessly scroll rather than pray, read, write etc. That quote from Pascal is so good! 👌🏻

Those are some good sunrises! I also notice the sunrises in the winter, mostly because I am much too lazy to see the sunrise past the spring equinox, but it is a shard of beauty in an otherwise frozen and sleepy landscape.

What a beautifully illustrated and heartwarming Advent post, Katie (and not just because I'm in it)! Thank you very much for your kind words, and I'm very glad to have discovered your Substack too. Wishing you and your family a very happy and peaceful Christmas and New Year.

The meditation on Job and his friends reminds me of When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Harold S Kushner. I picked it up at a free swap meet and have been reading from it every night.
