Five ways to find Thin Places, without changing your schedule.

(For my friend who has everything, but wants this.)

Today we’re sharing the work of Sarah Evans, whose art I recently fell in love with. This one has a lovely Narnia-like quality, with those lampposts and sepia-toned snow. Here’s her online shop.

Our next Candlelight Chat will be on January 25, featuring the brilliant psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Reid, the author of Guilt Free: Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations. This one’s for you, if you disproportionally experience guilt. Please join us!

“Thin Places tend to be quiet.” - David Perrell

A few weeks ago, an old friend texted me, asking if we could talk that evening.

This friend is a prominent person, leads an organization, enjoys many a public accolade.

We hadn’t been in touch in a while.

I said “sure,” and asked her the topic.

She wanted more time for writing and reading, she answered. She wanted more music.

I knew then why she was reaching out to me.

She wanted to spend more time in Thin Places - a subject that I write about quite a bit. Thin Places are the moments and locations where the boundary between us and the sacred dissolves.

Today, I want to talk about how to find these places, even if - especially if - you lead a very busy life.
