It is odd to say this, but I look forward to being sorrowful this coming Passion Week. I am an excellent avoider, and very skilled at turning my mind to more pleasant things. But in doing this, I miss seeing the truth about myself and about my world. Bach's music and Almut's contemplations offer me a gentle way to be open to my sorrow and the sorrow I cause. A gift at any price.
Yay for a (re)introduction! I've loved your words these past few months and am eager to meet your new to substack, but not new to you followers! Welcome to this community!
