Rest well! And, thank you for all the writing you have done. It helps me know I am not losing my mind or my faith.

"Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray." Enjoy the rest.

I wondered how you were keeping this all up--the sheer amount of writing, not mention the emotional toll the topics must take from you. Enjoy a respite and don't hesitant to cut back. I must say though, that I'm very thankful for you keeping up the commentary--they have been game-changer for me! They're excellent and I hope you consider publishing them in a book....

I love this:

’ve gone back and forth with myself. I considered trying to write ahead so that nobody would notice I was gone. Then it struck me that I’ve spent the better part of the last year writing about a politics and an economy that measures our worth by what we produce.

good for you. You are practicing what you preach.

Enjoy a semi-break

i look forward to your return.

thanks You Kay

You deserve time off! I am so glad you are taking it. We have to do things that fill our cups back up, otherwise the work will not be as meaningful or impactful. Rest well.

Please take some time off for yourself and get some good rest and relaxation in. It's very important. Think of it this way--on an airplane they tell you if the oxygen masks drop down to put it on yourself FIRST, and then help others.

Glad you are taking a much-needed rest. I appreciate everything you do and realize just how much energy it takes to think it all through and to put it in words with clarity and gentle graciousness.

I will miss your essays. But we all need rest. Thank you for your posts.

Yes we will notice. When I first found your essays back on Christmas Day, I cried, and then began to breathe again. Your words, and the words of your friends and followers, help me to realize that I'm not alone. Rest well.

Of course we’ll notice. Yours are often the best thoughts I read on the state we’re in. Enjoy peace and perhaps solitude. Blessings on you!
