The Great Belonging: How Loneliness Leads Us to Each Other Donlon Charlotte
Loneliness has reached epidemic proportions, according to many sources. But what if loneliness is a necessary part of the human condition? In an age of mobility and fraying civic life, we are all susceptible to its power.
Instead of turning away from the waters of loneliness for fear they will engulf us, she invites us to wade in and see what we find there. What if it is a current that leads us deeper into belonging--to ourselves, to each other, and to God?In The Great Belonging, writer and spiritual director Charlotte Donlon reframes loneliness and offers us a language for the disquiet within. In vulnerable, thoughtful prose, Donlon helps us understand our own occasional or frequent loneliness and offers touchpoints for understanding alienation.
We can live into the persistent questions of loneliness. We can notice God's presence even when we feel alone in our doubts.
