"In some ways, I think I still do have a vocation, and I’m doing it. In the way I understand what priesthood means — the call to sacrament and incarnation and narrative — I think I am still doing it.”

I'm loving the quiet, brave honesty, tenderness and humour of @duanalla's collection. A collection for those of us hanging on to the no one and refusing to quite let go of the no thing. "I have lost God. God/is the only language that I speak."
