It's easy to get caught up in the day to day. "Look Up" reminds us there is a bigger story being told.By Dr. Henry Graf

I stumbled over the Four Looks (Look Down, Look Back, Look Up, and Look Forward) as I was trying to figure out how to better practice a weekly Sabbath. (That's how they appear in Find Your TOV: a SKETCHbook.) In this series we are unpacking how they can help us #align. When we Look Back patterns become more clear.…

Aligned things get where they're going, so Season 3 is unpacking an ancient command called the Shema which says, "get aligned." In Episode 26 we look at "heart" (understood in the ancient world as "will"), the reality that this is a "law" and what that means.By Dr. Henry Graf

Episode 25 introduces "the four looks" and explores the first look: look down. These four have helped people and groups ALIGN.

In Season 03: Align we dancing with “the Shema” (which when Jesus added “mind” started being called “the Greatest Commandment.”). In this Episode explore how even God God’s self leads us down a path of Unity in Diversity.By Dr. Henry Graf

My friend Dave asked a great question when we were having coffee, an Italian tradition. In Italian, an almond is called a mandorla.

You can't SEE if you don't Sabbath. When it comes to Biblical Laws, Sabbath made the top 10 list. You've probably heard about the 10 Commandments. Most people know about them for a long time before even thinking about thinking about their context (that double "think about" wasn't a typo). In this Episode Henry unpacks the context of commandments to…

TOV first shows up in a pirate poem. Every pirate knows, X marks the spot and that’s the poems shape (scholars call it a chiasm). The first people to hear Genesis 1:1-5 had lived under an Egyptian king that enslaved them, making every attempt to keep them from living their TOV. "Pirates," according to Kester Brewin, "emerge whenever economies becom…

In Egypt Ra was the Sun god. The King claimed his Ra's power, standing under his story, and doing his best to keep Israel from Finding TOV. Standing under Ra's story, a story of scarcity, still happens. When Ra comes from someone we love, or a system we depend on, it's hard to call it Ra. Difficult as it is, calling Ra Ra is often the first step in…

When TOV got lost in translation, making sense of "that tree" (the tree of knowledge of TOV and evil) was impossible. When people ask, "Why did God put that tree in the garden?" they are suspending disbelief. I want to honor that. It took decades & degrees to wrestle with this question. For the longest time, I didn't engage because the answers I ha…

The reason there is more than enough (Episode I) is because the universe is TOV. (TOV means multiply.) You were made to live TOV, if you don't, parts of creation are left undone. That is why it's so important for individuals and organizations to find TOV. You've got to find TOV before you can live TOV. Here are the links, I promised in this episode…

Sometimes the most important things get lost. This shouldn't surprise us. Ancient Wisdom tells us that Ancient Wisdom gets lost.
