Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
A second life begins when we realize our longing is the answer to all of our prayers and the answer to our lonely cries, desperate and salty, with nowhere else to go but out from our hearts. This is the gentle season when all pain becomes a deeper forgiveness, when we celebrate our incarnate divinity with a kindness that can pluck a lion’s whiskers.
