An Invitation to the Sacred Ordinary: Halfway Down the Stairs: Brother Lawrence's Practicing the Presence with Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh

By Elle Mims Driscoll-Miller

What if practicing the presence of God looked less like performing-
and more like sitting halfway down the stairs with a friend?

Rooted in the quiet wisdom of Brother Lawrence and reimagined through the beloved companionship of Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh, Halfway Down the Stairs offers a sacred pause for those exhausted by spiritual performance, disillusioned by noise, or simply longing to encounter God in the ordinary moments of life.

This is not a commentary.
It's a conversation.
A slow, breathing journey through presence, friendship, smallness, and sacred return.

Here, ancient wisdom is woven into story.
Letters become invitations.
The voice of Brother Lawrence is gently reframed through a child and his bear-reminding us that God is not found in the striving, but in the stillness, the smallness, and the swing of your legs halfway down the stairs.
