In this episode, I share a poem that arose during a season of longing, grief, and surrender. Drawing from the moment Mary Magdalene stands before the empty tomb, we explore Jesus’ tender words—“Don’t cling”—not as rejection, but as an invitation into a deeper love.

This episode invites you to loosen your grip on what you may be holding too tightly and offers space for you and God to rest together in what is already here.


If this episode resonated with you, I think you'll enjoy my new book, Divine Flow: Reclaiming the Lost Art of Contemplation for Everyday Life.
