The “hallowed” members of the iona community were here this week.
I learned much from this small, dispersed, opinionated group of folks: from their activism, their theology, their determination to be together, to not choose each other. They account to each other the use of their time, carbon energy, money, physical energy. They pray a beautiful common prayer every day. They feel called to a life of activism, politics, journeying with god. To being together.
They get arrested. They make pilgrimage to the island once per year. They disagree. They harbor asylum seekers. They write poetry. They inspire me.
What would I want my rule of life to be?
