‘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.
