  • Resurrections – again and again on this day

    I find my resurrections From dark, lonely, dreary tombs Of fear, separation and loss In the mockingbird that sings joyfully while playing hide and seek in the holly bush. In the thread of a text with beloved sisters who hear my cry. In the empathetic, sympathetic melodies of a piano and strings. In the chit […]

  • Going Home

    On this Sunday with a moment of music, I share Yo-Yo Ma playing Dvorak’s Going Home. Yo-Yo Ma is an American of Asian descent.

  • Do you feel like me???

    It’s been a long twelve months, right?  We somehow made it through last spring and then summer didn’t seem so bad.  We got out of our homes, took walks, went to parks, and got some good fresh air.  Then fall arrived; my favorite time of year.  The smells of the leaves, the crispness in the […]

  • Tiny Practice: Catch a Sunset

    A tiny practice to build an appreciation in all of the glory of God around you….catch a sunset. I try to always look out my window about 15 minutes before the time of sunset. I can tell if the sunset will be a good one. Some of the best sunsets happen with lots of clouds […]
