Thank you so much, Janet, I really appreciate how thoughtfully you answered. It’s amazing to hear how the beguines and mystics kept surprising you and pushing you deeper into questions of courage and quiet resistance.

And now I’m curious… what are you up to this December when it comes to Canticle? Any events, writing plans, or book-related moments on the horizon?
