I like the concept that we are spiritually amphibious creatures, breathing humanity and eternality, air and spirit. Sometimes we tend to stay on dry land too long and really need to return to the living water.
My daughter recently had gone through serious health struggles and because of it, I have questioned the modern practice of prayer in the Christian Church. Doing a fine tooth comb of scripture to reorient myself to the truth. I will add this to my collection of “acorns” as I consider it all.

Yes—this concept is originally Evelyn Underhill’s. She has influenced me a lot with her writings. A theologian in England, 1920s
Hey, Sarah - where would you point to as a start for reading Underhill?

Thank you for sharing. The spiritual life is a journey. May you find many acorns along the way!
