A literary and spiritual home where I gather reflections on faith, solitude, books, gardens, photography, and the grace of ordinary life.
come away
and dwell
with Him
‘Angel wings’. A Mimosa pudica from my garden
Eremos
The Greek word ἔρημος (erēmos) speaks of lonely places, wilderness places, and places set apart.
For me, it has become the place where distractions fall away, where prayer becomes less hurried, and where I remember that God is often found in the quiet as much as in the extraordinary.
Solitary Grace grew out of those places.
