If I'm being dramatic, "How To Save Your Own Life."

If I'm being a bit more down-to-earth, I really like @hurley winkler's suggestion of: "Devotion to the Ordinary"

Hurley Winklers suggestion of Look About You really struck a chord with me.

I feel like so much of your writing is connected to Place so "In Ordinary Places" comes to mind, since so much of prayer is done in places that feel very ordinary, bordering mundane.

I like “Repair”

That’s what I feel happens when I read these. Little pieces of repair. I know the word healing is popular but repair feels more empowering.

Also the word “re” and “pair”. It’s re

“pairing” me to sanity, my true self, authenticity. The way you pair a phone to a speaker.
