Reading without rushing to a conclusion

Not every question needs to be resolved as soon as it appears.

Decision

Not every question needs to be resolved as soon as it appears. I want to remember that when I begin reading and when I look at my life.

Action

This journal has movement, decisions and changes. I also want it to have room for thinking. A page can be a place for that: noticing a word, returning to a passage, letting a question stay with me.

Adjustment

I want to publish readings with context when I have something real to share. Sometimes an idea that made sense. Other times a question or a disagreement.

This chapter begins with that openness. There is room for what hasn’t finished yet. For the next page. For an answer that may change while life continues.
