Dramatic and enduring change is hard. You have to be a bit of a holy fool to believe it can be done and that you, even you, can do it. Being inspired by other holy fools who have taken the leap, cast off all that weighed them down, and flown into a new way of being helps. They are the cloud of witnesses that sings to you in your despair, "Jump. Jump. It's not inevitable that you'll crash and burn. How else will you learn to fly? Cast off your fear and jump."
What is this place? —A waystation for nonsaints, fools, and ordinary spiritual pilgrims to inquire and reflect on what it is we talk about when we talk about God. —A refuge for those of us who are confused, unsure, or curious about God, who feel abandoned by or angry at God, or who are lonely for God. —A dwelling beyond the houses of fundamentalism and secularism, our tent flaps open in all directions to welcome the stranger, for we remember what it is to be a stranger in a strange land.
