Reader Paths

Running Down Vimy has grown over several years and many of entries.
If you are new here, this page offers ways to enter without feeling overwhelmed. You do not need to read everything. Choose one doorway and begin there.
Think of this hallway here, there’s doorways to go through.
The headings below are gentle ways to start “come and see”
one doorway at a time,
at your own pace.

1. Becoming a Safe Presence

Posts exploring how a person learns to be steady, attentive, and non-reactive in the lives of others.


2. Identity & Masculinity

Reflections on becoming a man — vulnerability, belonging, relational growth, and self-understanding.


3. Scripture as Formation

Writing where Scripture is wrestled with, lived through, and integrated rather than preached.


4. Family & Memory

Personal history, parents, siblings, grief, reconciliation, and remembering.


5. Crisis & Rebuilding

Moments of collapse, doubt, overwhelm, and the slow rebuilding afterward.


6. Justice & Listening

Explorations of fairness, mercy, restraint, and learning to listen before judging.


7. Books as Companions

Reflections where literature becomes mirror, teacher, or translator of inner life.
