What We Need Is Here - Live Stream

Thank you to everyone that joined my first Substack live streamed music event on Tuesday night. It was so great to share songs with you and feel the incredible warmth of this gathering of spirits. Thanks for all the comments and great conversation during the live stream! If you missed the event you can still see the video on my substack page HERE

On to the post

At the end there may be no answers
and only a few very simple questions: did I love,
finish my task in the world? Learn at least one
of the many names of God? At the intersections,
the boundaries where one life began and another
ended, the jumping-off places between fear and
possibility, at the ragged edges of pain,
did I catch the smallest glimpse of the holy?
Excerpt from “Praise What Comes” By Jeanne Lohmann
