Contemplation - Compassion - Creativity

Hi I’m Kevin

I am a pilgrim on the way, trying to live a life attentive to God’s presence. Contemplative practices of silence, photography, music, and lectio divina assist me along the way. These contemplative practices encourage me to engage the world with justice and compassion. I remain Mennonite, however I do not hold this identity too tightly.

“The Christian of the future will be a mystic or s/he will not exist at all.” Karl Rahner

Photography - I am often my most engaged self when I am busy creating. Photography is an important creative contemplative practice, but I also like to play with music, writing, and other crafty things.

Notes from My Cell - 'Go, sit in your cell, and your cell will teach you everything.’ Abba Moses.

This blog is a space for reflections, sermons, and other musings.

I have a deep interest in Benedictine, Carmelite, Orthodox, and Catholic Worker spiritualties. I am taken by Brother Lawrence and his emphasis on continual little prayer practices.

I was raised on the Canadian prairies. I continue to be amazed at how that geography has shaped me. It has taught me much about spaciousness and vulnerability.
