how shall we then live?
i realized in a flash (the flash being a slow 20-year brew brought on by catalysts that spark in your mind like the northern lights and beg to be written down immediately) how i want to live. four words. each could be a novel (some are): simplicity, creativity, service, beauty. with a solid foundation in place, these are pillars i can continue to build upon.
as i continue constructing this framework, here are some of the many who've inspired me: hd thoreau, richard foster, madeleine l'engle, ralph waldo emerson, annie dillard, anne morrow lindbergh, francis schaeffer (hence the title), kathleen norris, dorothy day, st. francis, deitrich bonhoeffer, and jean vanier...
and you, my modern friends who have the courage to live intentionally, you know who you are. i salute you.
what have you found to be your Truest way of living?
