The wanderings of a stay at home father. As Tim Lilburn explains, haecceitas is the idea that "the thisness of a thing is unknowable, but there. It's the highest expression of the thing, but it can't be known with precision or named." This blog will contain reflections on parenthood, religion, and whatever I find of interest. I hope the spirit of haecceitas colors my words (and life).

This entry was very timely for me; when the busyness of life overwhelms my ability to stay committed to practice (of any sort!), I can always turn to a practice of gratefulness; while it requires emotional effort, it doesn't require any time or physical energy. How beautiful & simple to be reminded of the value of being grateful for this one life that we have!
