Ordinary life is worth noticing.

Come as you are.

There is no hurry.

Shared Tomatoes is an online contemplative home for noticing God in ordinary life. Each room offers a different place to pause, gather, listen, read, tend, or receive another voice.

Creating Space

A contemplative path for becoming more attentive to God’s presence in ordinary life.

You are welcome to wander.

There is no need to see everything at once. Stay awhile, visit one room, or come back another day.

A little about who is here.

I’m Tim George. Much of my life has been spent listening—to patients, to people I accompany, to those I love, and to my own changing life.

Shared Tomatoes grew from that listening, and from a growing trust that God is often found in the ordinary things we might otherwise pass by.
