The gift for us all, I think, is the awareness that we are—all of us here in this Humaning community—like metal shavings being drawn back to the Magnet, somehow being tugged ever so gently into the center of the same Something.
Good catch, Lindsey, I thought I remembered her in there. Though, Anne, your additional vote would have increased her size. 😊 The wonders of a word cloud, the more you look the more you see!
I'll have to get my computer out to read the word cloud. I couldn't zoom in as far as I needed with my phone and the pale colors made some authors' names difficult to read. But I recognized many names I have read. Thanks to your daughter for this interesting compilation.
Yes, absolutely! One of the things I love about the top authors in this cloud is that they all encourage the contemplative mind, with the goal of non-dual consciousness, and the capacity to watch your biases rather than remaining blind to them.
Being tugged gently into the center of the same something 😂😂 made me cry!!
That’s exactly the beautiful tapestry of the word cloud your daughter beautifully made for US. To see all of our favorites up there…Talk about creating something stunning! It motivated me to take out one of my own favorites The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. And I’m going to re-read it before year’s end. His video, even more touching.
I have never read anything from everyone’s first choice Henri Nouwen. It’s about time.
TY from my grateful heart to everyone’s center of our own same something…happy reading 🎁
That book by Randy Pausch has been on my night stand for some time and deserves my attention! Glad to be in the center of the same something with you, Marilyn. 😊
Back at ya Kelly! I actually took the book out and started reading it last night. So many wonderful life lessons in his short stories of their lives. He wrote the book for his kids, and the fact that his wife was so generous to allow him to take the time of the last few precious months of his life to make it happen was beyond generous. Randy wound up writing something for all of us. You have done that too Kelly. And now we are sharing our own something’s with each other to be passed on and on…to whoever needs to hear them next.
Richard Paul Evans. I just bought the first book of a trilogy, The Broken Road. It looks good! Thanks for this! I was looking for a new author to read!
My husband and I were gifted "God's Wisdom for Navigating Life" by Tim Keller with Kathy Keller, his wife. It is a year of daily deviations in the book of Proverbs. So far it's been good. What book written by Tim Keller do you or others recommend?
wow, this word cloud is great, indeed a great gift and a great sign post! Thanks, Kelly. Look at all those lovely names dancing together in one cloud! So I guess I found my tribe here!! Now I hope to learn from you how you also found your readers :-)
I love Kahlil Gibran. If you listen be sure to find a voice you like. I returned one I found unbearable. It is very relaxing for time for a break or falling asleep.
I didn’t see Mary Oliver…. I’d add her to the list.
She’s right underneath Anne Lamott and just above Kate Bowler.
Good catch, Lindsey, I thought I remembered her in there. Though, Anne, your additional vote would have increased her size. 😊 The wonders of a word cloud, the more you look the more you see!
I appreciate the imagery of being metal shavings being drawn to the Magnet.
Thanks, Anne. That image feels like one of those solid things underneath everything, doesn't it?
This is so amazing ! Thanks to you and your daughter ❤️
You're welcome, Sarah, and I'll pass on your thanks to her!

It's definitely best viewed on a computer, Mary. I'll let Caitlin know you said thanks!
I love new author suggestions. I have never read Richard Rohr and he seems to be a must. Looking forward to a new good read.
Falling Upward is amazing. My wife got a tattoo of a diamond after reading Immortal Diamond!
Ah yes, and yet we must be aware of bias confirmation as we learn!

Mmm. Yes, the narrator makes all the difference, thanks for that!
