This is the setting out.
The leaving of everything behind.
Leaving the social milieu.
The preconceptions.
The definitions.
The language.
The narrowed field of vision.
The expectations.
No longer expecting relationships, memories, words, or letters to mean what they used to mean.
To be, in a word: Open.
And so I begin my journey. My journey of seeing the sacred in all things, seeing God in all things. For as my older brother said, “It is everywhere you look.”

I am so proud of you, angel. I can’t wait to see how this grows!
I am delighted to see you start this journey, darling Becky. Many don’t appreciate how hard it is to make yourself vulnerable in this way and to stay committed to the belief that your title captures so well. I can’t wait to see how God uses your gifts in this way!
Becky! This is great and is going to kickstart my mornings for sure. I love your insight and inspiration to stop and think, and look more closely at what’s around you. You are such an amazing woman of God!
