Learn and Live







But there is still so much I do not know.













  1. This is the best, most timely-for-me blog post that I have ever read. And I read some good ones. Thank you, Shannon Martin.

    1. I'm so grateful this met you right where you are. It's fun to write this stuff when I know I'm not alone.

  2. It seems like I need to stop and read and re read every sentence. I feel like I need to stop and decipher the deep thought/meaning in every one. The words are poetic and mysterious to me. I may be a little emotional today ��

    1. Well, I was clearly writing from an emotional place. ;) I'm sure it wasn't all super straightforward. But I promise, I'm not being overly mysterious on purpose! :)

  3. This slayed me "I saw men fight their way out of hell, running breathless and alive only to stop on a dime and stand perfectly still until it caught up with them again" and this made me laugh out loud "I've cleaned the bathroom for spite" been there...done that...:) Love your words!

  4. Ah yes - "trees that need to watching and people waiting to be loved, so I guess I'll just keep learning while I live." Pretty much sums it up, quite nicely I might add!

  5. Beautifully written! On the way to school, we also thank God for the blue sky and the trees. He's still here, and so are we.

  6. "But we will notice them one again one day, we'll stand with rocks and make them pay for the sins we committed against them". How true, we judge, criticize, and make assumptions, and then pick up the rocks we think they have coming. I loved this, you two are teaching me so much. Thank you, and have fun this week!!

  7. This was wonderful. Thank you.

    But I really wanted to let you know that I was scrolling down this post with my 3-years-old son watching (you know, since 3-year-olds basically implode if they're ever more than 2 inches from their mom), and when we came to that first picture of your living room, he exclaimed, "Oh! What a beautiful house!" So just know you're nailing it in the home decor department, at least as far as my family is concerned. =)

    1. Well, he is a boy after my own heart!!!! And reminds me of something Si would say. :)
