The Grace That Costs Something
There is a grace that costs nothing, and a grace that costs something real. In this Brief, John Moos, MD reflects on choosing welcome over exclusion in his own family, without naming the details that aren't his alone to share.
Unblock Your Threshold
I don't have any friends from childhood, because I let them go on purpose, more than once. In this Practice, John Moos, MD names that pattern and offers a way to notice it before it repeats.
Collateral Grace
A spilled latte, a stranger's kindness, and a lesson in what grace actually feels like. In this Flash, John Moos, MD explores why small, unconditional gestures almost always outweigh their size.
The Body You Never Owned
We don't own our bodies, minds, or lives. We steward them. In this Field Notes, John Moos, MD reflects on a restorative yoga practice and the walls we build that block the grace meant to reach us.
