This was one really considerate and loving story. The author treated (to me at least) each of their traditions and relationships with God very respectfully. I just wish the story had been longer! But the fact they were able to fill that void within themselves and come to terms with the fact that they were both okay, and that the God they knew did not make mistakes, that helped me come to terms with the ending of the story.Also, I enjoyed the 'glimpses' of the outdoors, and the peace they each received in their respective traditions, and love of either nature, fields, trees, walls of the abbey, sunlight through windows, and routines. They found comfort in doing what they felt they needed to in quiet contemplation. To find someone who allowed you to do this and still be you, well, that was just right for me, and my idea of a beautiful, unconditional, loving relationship.The idea that Faron felt dirty, and carried that feeling that he fell through a hole in God's pocket since the incident on the side of the road with his little sister, well, that made me feel very meloncholy and sad for him. I thought the resolution of his emotion, even though not addressing his relationship with his family, and possibilty of losing it, was kind to be able to share with someone else who understood, in part at least, what he was going through, even if for different reasons.Left me wishing for more, and I would love to see a story for Mose.Thank you, dear author.
