“It’s no exaggeration to say that from the time I encountered the Serenity Prayer in my twenties, it helped form my spiritual journey and orient it towards a contemplative posture toward life.”

Hi friends and followers, please consider subscribing to my Substack. philfoxrose.substack.com It’s where I’m focusing my writing and the main way I’m developing my ideas around contemplative practice and a contemplative posture toward life. My intention is that it will lead to a book at some point, but as is said, a Substack is like a book that never ends. I like that idea — an ever-developing text with multiple feedback loops with my readers and friends. That’s always been true of blogs to an extent, but Substack makes it super-easy and is a much richer environment in which to do it. I’m really trying to do something useful with this. Join me!

It only lasted about 10 minutes here on Cap Hill. Then the sun came out, and nothing stuck — it’s 40°.
