Riverside with AJ

I’m AJ Zimmermann—chaplain, writer, fly angler, and seeker of stillness.

I write reflections from rivers and hospital rooms, where dignity, grief, and grace often show up in quiet, unexpected ways. My newsletter, Riverside With AJ, is a space for honest stories, gentle theology, and the slow work of becoming.

If you’re looking for thoughtful, spiritually-rooted writing about the sacred ordinary, I’d love to welcome you there.
