Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life | 
pickRohr explores the idea of two halves to life: the first half, where we‘re concerned with building the “container” of our life—career, family, structure—and the second, in which we learn to fill that container with meaning and begin to get at our true identity. He articulates so much I haven‘t been able to put words to, communicating what can be frustrating for me about various institutions (and people!) focused on those first-half tasks. ⤵️
BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) There‘s a place for those structures, but getting stuck in them can mean we never engage with the gifts of mistakes, failure, and loss. (Honestly, I feel like I never really got a handle on the first-half tasks, either, so there‘s that…) There‘s a lot about Rohr‘s writing that feels just outside my grasp—and I‘m less progressive than he is—but there is so much deep wisdom packed into this book. It‘s one I‘ll definitely return to! 1mo
