I am following along as a mother of two young men with whom I have shared your work. It’s wonderful to see the example you are setting for healthy relationships, deep connection and self love in a world that rewards toxic masculinity. Thank you for sharing. It’s important. It matters. A lot.
I don’t even have words to convey the impact of Frederick Buechner on my identity as a writer, a believer, a wrestler and a human being living in a world of such beauty and such ache. He is a master of words, a storyteller unlike any other. I do my best to make sure every person I know has one of his books. True treasures. And I’m automatically a fan of anyone else who shares my affection for him. 👍🏼
I had a visit once with a voice once and this voice said, "stop trying to be somebody else, just be yourself! Your purpose in life is to be yourself!” https://tomt2.com/2024/04/10/just-be-myself/
Now I am just being myself and I am so much happier.
I’m showing up late to reading this but I’m so glad to have read it. There was something about this that felt freeing man. And I hope many others feel it to-it’s an unlocking to be. Just be. And an invitation to pull up a seat. Thanks for setting a table!

You're spot on. A master of words and storytelling he is!
