Margaret Atwood has said: "What touches you is what you touch." Accordingly these reflections touch on a whole lot of things, stuff of all kinds: restlessness, inconsummation, innocence and its loss, guilt and reconciliation, patience and chastity, death and loss, God's unconditional love, passion, friendship, love, sex, romance, community, social problems, human complexity and resiliency, weakness and depression, sin and conversion, the Eucharist, prayer and the obscurity and monasticism of daily life.
