This was a lovely read. I’m reading Between the Listening and the Telling: How Stories Can Save Us right now. This quote from the book feels relevant to the pandemic of loneliness:

“What does it mean to be human? How are we to spend our days? How do we face the troubles of this world? How do we address the heartache for the life we’re meant to live but can’t remember how? How do we find the place that the soul once knew?” - Mark Yaconelli
