Thanks for this paragraph. "Too often we think of holiness as rigidity, rather than as river. Holiness contains many waters and flows and flows, and we grab a canoe or lash together logs to make a raft and float for all we’re worth." Encouraging.
You know I'm a Chicago girl to the bone, but I know what precisely what he means about that nostalgia for Michigan. I've felt that since I was a little girl visiting my family up North, and I experienced it at Calvin in Grand Rapids. I know it well now, in Ann Arbor.
Also, I love the structure of your essay here, Megan. Maybe have to steal it, but maybe I do oceans (I know a guy).

Thank you, Janna. It was a fun one to write.
What a gorgeous and gorgeously formatted review!
Thank you, Rebecca. It was such a joy to spend two months with the chapbook and the music, simultaneously.

I rarely use section breaks on Substack, but the length of this one demanded it. And then I got to have fun with the format.
You do indeed know a guy! I look forward to what you will write.
