Soul is about feeling more at home in this world. It is a big belly laugh or a good cry. Soul is about singing on Friday nights with Jesse and Glen. It is any experience of joy and belonging. Soul is a tangled garden of zinnias, peppers, and tomatoes.
Soul is about enough.
Soul is at the heart of the gospel. I want to tell you a story about my mother because I believe that my mother taught me something very important about living authentically. Not too long ago my mom told me that when she was growing up that her dad used to call her a prickly pear cactus. This really amused me because in many ways the description was quite apt. My mother was inflexible in her convictions.
