What I thought would be this week’s post is taking longer to get ready than my posts normally do. The readings I’m currently reflecting on are taking my writing in all different directions. Not being open to where each one takes me doesn’t feel right. So for this week’s post, while I’m seeing where multiple trails lead and how they are connected, I’ll link to a reflection from Julie Hanlon Rubio and one of my favorite websites, Catholic Women Preach.
If and when what I thought would be this week’s post feels ready to share, I’ll be so excited to share it with you.
In the meantime, my experience with writing for this space this week has taught me that part of patience might be a willingness to take detours from what seems like the surest road to a destination. Maybe what seems at the beginning of a journey to be the best route to follow actually isn’t. Maybe I’m not always called to take the most direct route to where I think I’m called to go — especially in writing. Maybe getting sidetracked is an important part of some journeys.
