It’s been a year since the sudden passing of our friend & sister Esther Keiderling at age 28.

As we grieved her & missed her, it was natural to reread things she wrote as well as some of the writing she admired.

We shared our reflections here:

It’s so good when a reviewer ( in this case @SketchesbyBoze ) completely understands both the tradition and the contemporary context in which you’re writing. Result: a really in depth review https://t.co/GJNfSHS5Hb

@suzania My favorite genealogical fact is that my great grandmother is buried next to Clara Schuman's heart

The Mount Academy orchestra is preparing for two Spring concerts next week, and it's a delight to listen to them practice in our beautiful chapel.

The original sketch of a Moomin by Tove Jannson was based on a sketch she made of Immanuel Kant.

What historical fact sounds fake but is true?

NEW: Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman reflects on being MOVED to tears by the Christian cross after returning to Earth from the historic expedition:

"When I got back on the on the ship — I'm not really a religious person — but there was just no other avenue for me to explain anything or to experience anything."

"So I asked for the chaplain on the Navy ship to just come visit us for a minute, and when that man walked in, I'd never met him before in my life. But I saw the cross on his collar, and I just broke down in tears."

"It's very hard to fully grasp what we just went through."

[Marianne Wright @mair__wright]

This book starts with an amazing first sentence - "So that was how a man walked when death had touched him between the shoulders." - and gets better.

This book was influential in the conversions of my grandparents on both sides, even though they grew up in different continents.

“I was totally unprepared for my response to the daily Bruderhof singing upon our family’s arrival at Fox Hill community a few years later. All those bookless, audience-less, effortless, two-hundred-voice four-part harmonies poured over me; it was like standing under a waterfall.” —Maureen Swinger
