Your friend sounds like a beautiful and grounded person, and how special that he's had such a deep and profound influence on you. I wonder if he even knows he has. From what you've written here, he strikes me as someone who would not even consider whether he's had an impression on another human being ... that he's the sort of person who just goes about living his life with as much intention and integrity as he can, and that's all that matters. This, too, is the kind of existence I want to live. Study is important to me too. The most sacred moments of my day are the quiet moments I integrate into each morning of my day. I have written of this before, but I prepare my coffee and sit at my desk in my studio space. I pray, I read the Scriptures, and I write. I sit and stare out the window at the quiet morning on my street, and I think. I try to guard these moments each day with fierce affection. It makes me glad to know you, too, are guarding such spaces in your life right now, and cherishing them. xoxo, Christianne What a beautiful reflection.

I never considered study as being something I get to choose to do now! What a great idea to integrate it into becoming a regular practice. Genius.

What a great idea to integrate it into becoming a regular practice.

When I resurfaced I felt so much better and more replenished that when my husband came home and asked what I had been up to I couldn't verbalize it properly. But reading this I think I now have an answer for him. Now I can tell him I have been 'studying!' Happiest of holidays to you! xoox I was in a rotten mood this morning and after my husband went out, I submerged in a pile of books and journalling and creating and reading and writing.
