A quick second post as I’ve just discovered that the writer Madeleine L’Engle died two days ago.
Please, if you do nothing else today, read this poem at Chasing Grace. Be!
Your house shall not be an anchor but a mast – Khalil Gibran
Welcome
I'm Tess, and in this space I write about some of the things that interest me: different faiths, creativity, ecology, simple living, how we can build community. I try to approach every day intentionally, and aim to have some fun along the way.
If you're new here, I hope you'll stay awhile to explore, and join in the conversations by leaving a comment.

Thanks for the mention. I just thought her words would be better than my own to mark her passing. It’s comforting that while we may have lost herself, we still have her spirit with us in her writings.
