Okay, these are stones and a shell not pearls. These stones have value to me, much in the same way a pearl would to others. I pick up stones along the way as reminders of a place, a moment, a memory. A couple weeks ago my sweetie and I went to the beach, put our … Continue reading Pearls

Making Room
As fearful people we are inclined to develop a mind-set that makes us say: "There's not enough food for everyone, so I better be sure I save enough for myself in case of emergency," or "There's not enough knowledge for everyone to enjoy; so I'd better keep my knowledge to myself, so no one else … Continue reading Making Room
Good? Friday!
This afternoon I'll be in Church for a couple of hours celebrating the Passion of our Lord. The readings of the day are really rich, recounting Jesus' betrayal, right through his death. The way the Gospel is read the community responds with "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!" at those moments when Jesus is condemned. I remember … Continue reading Good? Friday!
A moment of economical joy
The other day I had a 90+ minute conversation with an industry professional. It was a good conversation for both of us one of listening, and learning. As we finished the conversation I experienced two things: first a deep sense of joy in the sharing of our experience, and second a flash of a memory of … Continue reading A moment of economical joy
wherein I wish I had my first quilt
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMV3X3sysxk I like it when I wake up and a song speaks to my heart or in this case speaks to the "should've" part of life. Should've done this, should've used that color, should've figured something else out, should've asked for help, should've been more respectful of the bias, should've whatever. Shoulda, woulda, coulda knock … Continue reading wherein I wish I had my first quilt
Waking up with a song in my head
Sometimes it's rather hilarious the songs that go through my head in the morning. I have to wonder what I go to sleep thinking about. The first time I heard this song must have been years ago, it's been around for a long time. In the last few weeks One Week has been a regular … Continue reading Waking up with a song in my head
Welcome to 2015 – Journey
Welcome to 2015 my prayer is a deeper sense of God's Mercy and of God's Creative sense. As I read this first sentence I am in awe of how these are the same thing, God is all One and in my humanness I see this as different pieces. For me as a human it is … Continue reading Welcome to 2015 – Journey
2015 Word of the Year
Bilbo sings: The Road goes ever on and on, Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. Here I … Continue reading 2015 Word of the Year
