He now speaks and writes about his pluralistic adventures and efforts to end the war between, within, and outside the world of faith.

Vowels

The day is too nice to sit inside and read about the sages of old. I venture out, past my wife and kids as they conduct a home school session on the sun-bleached deck. They are talking about vowels, those symbols explaining the hidden spaces in-between the consonants we know to be true. I think about this as I descend the deck steps. Warm blades of grass slip between my toes.

Quotes by Andrew Bowen  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I thought more and more about impermanence and death - not in the form of a depressing nihilism, but as a contemplation on the transitory nature of the bodies we cling to so dearly. Why was I so attached to something that will inevitably return to dust? Why am I not more focused on the pure and eternal soul - the only true form of life - within this fleshy cage?”
