An Advent Conversation with Barbara Crafton
A Spirituality of Letting Go
“You Will Be As Gods” Genesis 3:5
“I remember how important my own autonomy was to me when I was young. Freedom, it seemed to me, was everything. I didn’t want anybody telling me what to do. I am free now, of course, and have been for decades. I make my own decisions. But I look into a different future, one that draws nearer every day: I will not always be able to execute my own decisions. I may not even be able to make them. What happens then?
Let’s talk about the spirituality of letting go. About the paradoxical freedom of living within constraints. And let’s talk about it before we need to.”
