THE STUDY
A place to consider how we live.
A prayerful and attentive life does not remove us from the world. It returns us to it. The Study is a place to linger with questions about attention, hurry, technology, work, relationship, suffering, enoughness, aging, creation, and the recovery of ordinary life.
Questions worth considering slowly
The Study is not meant to provide quick answers.
It is a place to stay with questions that may shape the way we live.
You do not need to begin with all of them.
Notice which question seems to be asking for your attention.
Ways of Paying Attention
Sometimes becoming more attentive begins with something quite ordinary.
Writing a few words. Reading a poem slowly. Taking a walk. Looking back over the day.
These simple practices invite us to slow down and notice what we might otherwise pass by. Silence has a place in each, creating room for reflection and for recognizing God's presence in everyday life.
There is no particular order, and nothing to complete. Begin wherever you feel drawn.
