Nouwen

I won’t check my email or texts until 8am. To pass the time I read Henri Nouwen books. His work is very simple yet genuine.

When I was younger the meal our family shared was breakfast. And we would take five minutes before my brother and I went to school and my parents to work to Dona family devotion. We would take turns reading the daily devotion from a book called Daily Guideposts. This is Norm Vincent Peales outfit. So when I think of spirituality and even writing I think in terms of 365/366 entries. One for each day.

I like Nouwen. It is just comforting to read his work. Like a warm blanket for the mind. Usually when I am done I can’t even tell you what I read or what it was about. But I know how it makes me feel and it feels good.
