Things like beauty, detachment, pausing, and dialing back your screen time. Now, if you read Get Your Life Back or listened to the podcasts we did around it, or really if you just read this newsletter through 2019-2020, you recall the idea that there are “natural graces” we can take hold of to heal our souls. The chronic disappointments, all those losses great and small, and the inability to make plans for the future throttled the capacity of Living in us, just as chronic rejection hampers your ability for relationship, or how chronic failure harms your capacity for hope. This capacity, our human functioning in the realm of Living, has taken a real beating over the past year. I’ve named this capacity as a whole the drive for Living. There is in each of us a capacity I call “Living.” What I mean by this is the deep intentionality we have as human beings to aspire towards things that bring us life, plan towards those things, take hold of them, enjoy them, and start the cycle over as we aspire towards new things. This month I’d like to offer more for your restoration and wholeheartedness. That you have something of a plan, or at least some guidelines, and that for the most part you are sticking to them day by day. I suggested you have some conversation with Jesus about his “prescription” for your recovery-especially as it pertains to summer. We need to look at the months ahead as “rehab” for our souls. My premise was that we have all passed through global trauma, and it has affected us whether we know it or not.
Happy summer! Last time I wrote-in April-I put before you the idea of developing a “prescription” for your recovery after the year we’ve all been through.
