It&#8217;s not possible to safely wash them myself so I&#8217;m dependent on the building manager to hire a crew. &nbsp;They&#8217;re here today. &nbsp;This is only the second time the windows have been cleaned in the eight years I&#8217;ve lived in the apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Window washing feels like a spiritual metaphor to me. &nbsp;Like habits of thinking or unexamined opinions, the dirt builds up gradually. &nbsp;From day to day the difference isn&#8217;t noticeable, but after several years our windows have gotten pretty bad. &nbsp;We think we&#8217;re seeing a distant view but really we&#8217;re just seeing our own&nbsp;dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can wash our own windows by asking, &#8220;why do I think that?&#8221; &nbsp; &#8220;Is that actually true?&#8221; &nbsp;&#8220;That&#8217;s not the response I hoped for, is there another way to&nbsp;do this?&#8221; &nbsp;But sometimes, for those hard to reach fourth floor windows, we need someone else to help us grow into a new way of seeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s where the Fellowship comes in. &nbsp;Let us help you wash your windows. &nbsp;Together we will let the light in. &nbsp;You&#8217;ll like what you see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I live in an apartment building on the fourth floor, so washing the windows is a big deal.
