...you must be able to do three things..."
** “….to love what is mortal; to hold it
against your bones knowing your own life
depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.”

As we walk together through this Lenten season, the words of Mary Oliver have made excellent company to the scriptures telling us about Jesus’ ministry. The perspectives shared by members of the RfA community each week have enlightened the familiar text in new ways.
This week, we reflected about loving and letting go through Mark 8 and In Blackwater Woods ([link removed]) . Jesus promises that God stays with each of us through the seasons of our lives, in the loving, holding, and letting go. Jesus wants us to let go and follow, so that we can be with him, because he wants to be with us.
