“You need a very strong container to hold the contents and contradictions that arrive later in life.” - Richard Rohr, Falling Upward

Inspired by the concepts spoken about in Richard Rohr’s book Falling Upward, this work explores the recognition that life is messy and crazy and downright hard. As we age and go along our life’s journey, may we take on the crazy contradictions and things we may have never seen coming our way with grace. May we spend our first half of life building up the strong containers within us. Radically pursuing peace, mercy and community.
