We’re Still L’Arche
"The whole entire world is a very narrow bridge and the main thing is to have no fear at all" - Epigram attributed to Hasidic Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
When I think of the Spring of 2020, I can almost see this “very narrow bridge.” Back then, that bridge was the slim margin of error that could let the virus into one of our homes and leave someone sick - maybe even isolated in an ICU, far away from loved ones.
A School of the Heart:
“My college graduation was a celebration of one type of learning and the attainment of new skills. My arrival at L’Arche was the beginning of another, equally important, type of learning that would involve a very different set of skills.”
