There is a phrase I have come to treasure—not because it sounds theological, but because it sounds human. Walking each other home. It doesn’t sound dramatic or impressive. It sounds ordinary—almost small. Like something you do quietly at the end of the day. And yet, the longer I live, the more I ...read more
