Very nice piece by my dad's old friend Sy Hersch. Yet if he has ever played the Beatles or Billy Joel on the piano that is news to me. MY FIFTY YEARS WITH DAN ELLSBERG open.substack.com/pub/seymou…
New #audiobook alert: "A Living Gospel: Reading God's Story in Holy Lives" by @RobertEllsberg. This book shares the gift of the saints—not perfect people, floating in prayer, but human beings who sought to follow Jesus despite their flaws; people like us. piped.video/27_wMlbHqYo

Jean-Pierre de Caussade, Jesuit, who wrote of “the sacrament of the present moment,” died March 6 1751. My reflection today in @GiveUsThisDayLP He inspired the title of my book “A Living Gospel” @OrbisBooks
