Today’s prompt: Where – or with whom – do you feel most at home right now?

Just tonight, Hannah and I were talking about the influence of religion in Emi’s life. I was raised in a religious context, Hannah was not. I’m no longer practicing but there are certain aspects of the traditions that I still participate in. Navigating Emi’s inclusion in these small, infrequent practices will be interesting.

Ultimately, we want her to decide whether or not religion is right for her. With that, there’s the religious community membership. How do we expose her to something without pushing her into it? Can you “try” a religion?
