by our dear friend . Today he shared, “Several years ago, if you would have asked me if I was anxious, I would have completely denied it. Not because I was consciously ashamed, but because (a) my defenses were working well (if that doesn’t compute, [re]watch the emotions vid from last week) and (b) because i was so out of touch with my body that I wasn’t aware of the tightness in my chest, the restlessness, the low productivity, the fidgeting, the inability to be alone, and the list goes on. Slowing down can be terrifying, maybe because of what you may notice. I want you to know that it’s OK if you don’t notice anything, or if you notice something that doesn’t feel good, or if you feel uncomfortable and you don’t know how to name it. It’s also OK if slowing down feels too overwhelming for you in this moment. So why am I writing this post and what’s the point? Well, I could give you a million reasons but let me just share with you what feels loud and clear in my heart: the world is most beautiful, and most alive, when you are the most YOU. When you can experience a moment of calm and clarity, you can be the most you. I want to make the world a better place and that can’t happen fully unless you can be you.”

Hi friends 👋,
⠀⠀
As luck would have it, we started baking our own bread last month. It wasn’t a decision we made lightly, and I imagine we took more time weighing the pros and cons of bringing a sourdough starter into this world than some people spend considering becoming new parents. Are we responsible enough? Is it too expensive? What if we forget to feed it? We watched hours of technical videos and read every bread-influencers’ blog posts, and then one day, like magic, we knew our answer. Let’s make a dough baby!
⠀⠀
I love the rhythm of breadmaking, the twice daily routine of adding fresh flour and water to the starter in the morning and at night, the way our favorite recipe’s instructions add a familiar design to the next 36 hours, and the pride that comes from knowing your skill was an essential ingredient in the tasty outcome.
⠀⠀
You get better at baking bread by baking bread. Repetition trains your hands to knead the dough, and experience helps you adapt the recipe to the environmental variables in your kitchen. It also taught me patience, to take it one step at a time, and kindness. Allowing myself to eat homemade bread without guilt is one way I’m treating myself more gently these days.
⠀⠀
Sharon Salzberg says, “We don’t meditate to get better at meditating. We meditate to get better at life.” I believe we have the same opportunity with almost any practice we commit to. Baking, , , , , writing, riding, running, you name it. The ultimate reason rarely resembles the immediate result in size or likeness. Find the reason that rises higher than the rest. Let it motivate your practice, and let your practice sustain you.

Always, and especially now, we need each other. I’m here for you,
Jonathan

“Rest isn’t our keeper; it’s our teacher. It prepares us to deal with the most painful and difficult challenges we’ll ever face. It isn’t found just in the things we do or don’t do. Often, it’s best experienced in the familiar rhythms of our lives. The sights, smells, and sounds in our places of calm have a way of nurturing our spirits.... Finding the sights and smells of rest heals our souls and fills our hearts. Again, this is because it isn’t just something we find; it’s a place we create. We relax where we feel safe. Find those places in your life and make it your rhythm to go there often.” - , “Love Lives Here”

“Rest lets us focus. We can wish for fewer distractions, but the cruel reality is, the longer we live, the more we’ll have. We can ask God to bring fewer problems our way, too. Go ahead, try it. I’ve been asking for that for years, but it hasn’t worked. Rest doesn’t just give us the ability to cope with the challenges we face but, more importantly, to understand them.” - , “Love Lives Here”
