"...true faith cannot be caged in argument, no matter how brilliant." This was the same realization I came to 10 years ago, and it broke me apart.

I'm in the middle of leaving the corporate world, the spreadsheets, and the strategy, and your words are a breath of fresh air in the middle of this transition. Thank you!!

Glad to know you found the message when you needed it, Clare. The moment faith slips its intellectual chains and becomes fire instead of formula is terrifying, glorious, and utterly disarming. May your exodus from spreadsheets into the wild country of wonder be filled with those quiet moments when the veil thins and you realize the only "strategy" that ever mattered was love. Walk unafraid. The broken places are where the light gets in.

Grateful to have found your work. Tech bro and mystic? Certainly a writer. Your prose is an encounter.
