I greet God, and I greet the God who is more God than the God I greet. I greet my story and hope that I can forget my story during the day, and hope that I can hear some stories, and greet some surprising stories during the long day ahead. In the Shelter: Finding a Home in the World. 'In The Shelter is Pádraig Ó Tuamas meditation on the power of breaking free from our false stories into a truer story, into arms that love us, one small conversion at a time. I greet my own small world and I hope that I can meet the bigger world that day. I greet the things I think will happen and I say hello to everything I do not know about the day. I greet my untold stories, my unfolding story, my unloved body, my own body.

I recognise and greet my burdens, my luck, my controlled and uncontrollable story. I say hello to distraction and privilege, I greet the day and I greet my beloved and bewildering Jesus.

So every morning, I kneel, waiting, making friends with the habit of listening, hoping that I'm being listened to. But I know that it's a good idea to sit anyway. : In The Shelter (9781473606104) by Tuama, Pádraig Ó and a great selection of similar New, Used and Collectible Books available now at great prices.
