Today I gave an interview about Henri Nouwen, who died suddenly in '96 just shy of 65. After his funeral I received a letter from him: thanks for our friendship and looking to the future. I realized today I have reached his same age. Yet he seemed so old! Time changes perspective

I love Henry Nouwen and his books -so very real and heartfelt . Unfortunately , I went to YDS after him ; he certainly found a lot more peace and serenity being at L’Arche vs academia . I get it right ?

Not exactly peace and serenity, but he certainly found the home he had been searching for.
