Begin Again, Gently

Curtis E. Spence

The soul doesn’t rush.

It asks only that we listen,

that we remain open—

to wonder, to suffering,

to the sacred gap between who we are

and who we’re becoming.

Courage whispers.

Clarity steadies.

Community holds.

Begin again.

Not with answers—

but with presence.

I remain deeply grateful for this shared experience (FCRP 2025 conference), even if I didn’t get a chance to connect with everyone. 

I carry forward the intention of helping to build a better, more interconnected world—through interfaith dialogue, creative gatherings, and opportunities to move beyond survival toward thriving, joy, and deeper understanding.

Warm regards,

Curtis Spence
