"Is There Hope for a Fractured Body?" What I learned from listening.
The Journey
"Not all who wander are lost." J.R.R.Tolkien

join me on a journey into the wilderness.

About
Hi, I'm so glad you joined me. This is not a place for quick answers. Aren't the greatest truths found when you don't know where we are going exactly? I like to think of myself as a wanderer inviting others along on a journey of following a controversial, mysterious rabbi (Jesus) into the wilderness of complex social, emotional, spiritual, and political issues.
This is a candid shot taken by a kid on an advocacy trip to Albany, NY.
Good memories.

“If you have come here to help me you are wasting your time, but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.” ― Lilla Watson
