Dear Heidi,

Greetings from your old stomping grounds of DeKalb. I was wondering if I had missed some issues of “Part-time Hermit”, but I can now see you have been occupied with other events.

I caught that you would be moving back to the Chicago area. Does DeKalb still play a roll in your life? Not much has changed here since you have left. Perhaps we have a few less yoga classes than when you were here. I miss them, but do go to a fitness class taught by a yoga instructor.

Your MRI newsletter was quite timely. At my age, my wife and I seem to be prime candidates. My wife doesn’t like it and is uncomfortable. I’m closer to you (and your newsletter) and like the solitude it provides. Interesting…

Thank you again for the always interesting thoughts you provide in your post.

Best,

Ralph Hannon

Heidi, when I read your words, I recognize myself, and it brings me such peace to know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I read your Lent devotion every year and look forward to Letters from a Part-time hermit. Thank you for sharing your writing and your life with us.

I love this! I recently had my first MRI and I felt similarly pretty comfy. I don't love the loud noises but it felt like a good opportunity to practice centering prayer and try not to think too hard.
