Solo - A New Love

"Love is the only answer, but medieval talk about love does nothing."

I’ve been sitting with those words from the mystic Thomas Merton, and they’ve hit me right where I live. If you’ve been with me for the last seven years, you know my creed: I am alive to love, and I believe all lesser values devolve easily into "BS"—that bait-and-switch that keeps us from the reality of how we are meant to live.

As we approach the final days of 2025, I’m feeling a fire in my heart to raise an alarm. The ancient, dusty discussions of love just don’t cut it anymore for the "wild and wooly" world we’re living in. Life is a beast; it shoves us around, and if we don't have a practical, radical reality of love to lean on, we get reckless.

We are closing out the year in the spirit of Advent—celebrating the silence. I want to help you build your own "fortress of solitude" where you can be hit by the radiant supremacy of God’s love, far away from the noise of the world.

Let's stop the ancient talk and start the new walk. Let’s rise and shine and go do something beautiful.
