Thank you so much for this. As someone who does not know if I will have kids, I have been working hard to envision a life without them (especially as so many of my early life-imaginings included motherhood). Reading your piece last week, even as I was grateful for a peek into those thin places of motherhood that you graciously opened up for us readers, also admittedly left me feeling a little sad. This wide variety of vignettes of sacredness outside motherhood helps me continue to envision a life where those thin places can be anywhere, and that no particular path grabs the sacred for itself. As always a reminder that one can find the thin places within and without each life path we each find ourselves following.
