There’s nothing like turning the kids loose on the house with the camera for rediscovering all of the little imperfections. Here’s what Alice and Leo uncovered today.
Piles of laundry.
The dusty mantle with “kid and pet” cleaner at the ready.

Being in the midst of a transition in my life I’ve been thinking a lot about the question of destiny vs. free will and tonight I had a conversation with my mom that brought this big question to the fore. How much of our lives are determined by destiny and how much of a say [...]

What a lovely holiday we had! We had some interesting philosophical conversations around the dinner table, initiated by my sister, who wanted to hear everyone’s take on the story of the birth of Jesus. She’s considering what aspects of the story to bring to her children and looking for what part of it lives most [...]

It seemed to David that he heard voices singing in the wind among the olive trees, as though the trees themselves were singing, voices that sang not to the ear but to the soul. ‘He shall feed His flock like a shepherd: He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them.’
