Friends.
This quote from Moana 2 REALLY got me …
“Remember there is always another way, even if you have to get lost to find it.”
If you haven’t seen it yet, you need to. Moana is my FAVORITE Disney Movie and Moana 2 did NOT disappoint.
What a story!
For me, 2025 will be my year of finding another way to exist and be amongst the division that’s all around us. Much like Moana, I’ve always felt like a “Wayfinder” - someone who (just as I did when I left Evangelicalism) is desperately trying to find a way through the sea of varying beliefs and divisions … trying to find a new way to be and to exist.
These days … I feel that all the more.
I believe we can be people of love and unity and compassion.
I believe we can build tables where we are curious of one another instead of walls where we are overly sure of ourselves.
I believe love and choosing not to demonize other sides or hate other sides or shame other sides are acts of resistance.
… I feel ALL of these things, even if I feel completely lost and disoriented in finding my way to them.
I have much work to do on myself with a stack of books to be read and conversations to be had and time carved out to process and ponder and meditate on it all, but I embrace the adventure ahead.
Follow along here on Substack or Patreon, no paywalls in either place (but support is an option if you’e able) - that’s where I’ll be sharing all the ideas and ponderings.
Much love and Happy Saturday.
