Couldn’t help myself. A perfect Advent reread. ✨🤍

Obsessed with this book. So happy to be rereading (listening) for book club!!!

Will I finish rereading this before the end of the year???

sooooo gooood

“One must always walk the world with wonder for it is full of miracles yet to be witnessed.”

Exquisite writing. Just absolutely perfect.

This is way trashier than I expected!!! This is my first Elin H. and I'm kinda tempted to give up on it. I don't really care about any of the characters or anything that's happening :(((....bummer.

“The cherry farm!” Emily cries, and Maisie and Nell raise their fists in the air. Parts of this story they already know, and this is one of them. The stories that are familiar will always be our favorites. 🥹

It’s so good…again 🥹

“Prayer is the soul’s native language. Our natural posture is attentive openness to the divine.” -David G Benner

This is so sad😔

60 pages in and absolutely adore this!!

“…I put Hayden on salad duty…while I massage the kale with some oil and smoked salt…” 😋 I love this whole scene🥹

“I suppose I pray in other ways.” “What ways?” I asked, realizing after I’d said it how intrusive it sounded. I was sure I’d never asked anyone about his prayer life before. “Thomas Merton wrote that the birds were his prayers, and I guess I feel that way, too. I pray best by just being out in the marsh. It’s the only praying my soul seems to really respond to.”

I am RIVETED.

Absolutely loving reading this with my husband and watching Brian Zahnd’s course!

Second time reading this and it’s so spiritually nourishing.

Loving this story!
