  • For the Book

    If you keep a journal it must be a beautiful book you return to as I was doing this morning   having put chores aside for my daily entry when to my amazement my number two pencil caught fire   that seared up my fingers, my arm to my elbow and onto my shoulder where […]

  • Always remember…

    Sometimes the voices in our heads need to be quieted and even dismissed altogether.  I have struggled with this all of my life and have learned the power and strength of saying to the voices that tell me things that aren’t true, “You’re dismissed now.  I am terminating you.  I am replacing you with other […]

  • Rain

    I have always envied my friends who love to live in rainy places.  There’s the friend who said, “I Iove to fall asleep to the sound of rain drops falling on my window sill.”  I didn’t understand it then, and I still don’t understand it now. I think I have always suffered from Seasonal Affective […]

  • A Reflection: “What is Lent For?”

    If in suffering you can no longer give thanks for God’s goodness and have no taste for paradox, from where comes succor if nothing’s real but whirl of pain and echo, “Why am I forsaken?”   Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani  . . . . What is the meaning of our brother’s ending cry of sorrow? […]
