My latest book, Hope Leans Forward, Braving Your Way toward Simplicity, Awakening, and Peace, was written through a period of profound personal loss, life-altering transitions, and the urgency of Black Lives Matter. Tending grief required time to sit with my scattered thoughts and emotions, to dive into questions without ready answers, and to let the truth of the moment reveal itself to me. I didn’t avoid or evade the grief. I didn’t try to explain it away or rationalize the transitions. Instead, I gave it space and quiet attention which, over time led to clarity and to a sense of action and direction grounded in wise hope.
