“You Are the Medicine” could not have been more beautiful or more beautifully timed. I opened The Liminality Journal today, in a moment of quiet, after being surrounded by the noise of love and grief at my partner’s sister’s death this morning.
In the midst of this real life, I needed to finish preparing for a Sunday morning gathering at Greensky Hill Indian UMC. You know something about the way Great Mystery moves, so it probably won’t surprise you that we’re in the third week of a series called Good Enough (copyright Worship Design Studio based on the new book by Kate Bowler & Jessica Richie) and this Sunday’s theme is, “Lots of things can be medicine.”
I laughed when your journal opened and I saw the words, “You Are the Medicine.” My copy of Asha’s book will be here Monday. Miigwech for introducing me to her. May I have your permission to quote from today’s TLJ entry during our in person/live-streamed gathering? Videos of our services remain available on Facebook, YouTube, and at www.greenskyhill.org. I will give proper credit to you and Asha Frost and I’m reaching out separately to Asha.
Our family gathered this morning around a fire and entered into the coming of spring together - cherry blossoms in the backyard and birds chirping along. Thank you for sharing. This was a beautiful way to begin the season.
This is truly the most beautiful story I’ve ever read, regarding Spring. I just tried reading it to my sister & started to weep half way through. Thank you for sharing.
Kaitlin,

I didn't know I needed to cry this morning, but apparently I did.💚
Oh, Donna! I'm sorry I made you cry, but also I'm so glad it spoke to you.
