In a couple of weeks I am going to host the Blessed is She/Westchester Brunch. After emailing with the group leader we have a theme for the discussion which led me to thinking about both the Garden of Gethsemane, and Good Friday on the Cross when Jesus says, "It is finished." There's another, better word … Continue reading On remembering to say, Yes

Imagine
Way back in the day I remember one of the "older" neighborhood kids telling me about the movie Jaws. We were standing on her front porch on a sunny afternoon I was 7 maybe 8 years old. I remember having nightmares about a shark attacking me and falling out of bed. My imagination worked overtime … Continue reading Imagine

The Rotten Poet's Eldlest Daughter Gives consideration to blog fodder Sometimes thinking of a word or phrase Sends her brain into some deep haze Thought after endless thought Swirls and whirls around competing for attention here and there making my abundant hair shine and sparkle a streak of white/gray that makes me say Hey Look … Continue reading Potential
Trust
It's one of those weeks where things niggle at the edge, whispering for me to pay attention. I have some ideas where this is going, however my guess is the writing will be a combination of serendipty, inspiration, whispering, and guts. Taking stock is good. Getting through the overpowering waves of emotion before … Continue reading Trust
Heart Rending
Joel 2: 12-18 Even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, and weeping, and mourning; Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the LORD, your God. For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment. Perhaps he will again relent … Continue reading Heart Rending
On Being Responsible
"We need reminders, not new teaching" to quote a long time friend. The reminder came the other day, I'm grateful. This reminder started me thinking that I'm holding some things that aren't mine. Hearing this is like drinking water, refreshing my soul. As this drinking water continues the creative energy that has laid dormant for … Continue reading On Being Responsible
Advent, Lent, Rote, and Renewal
Ya know how you do something over, and over, and over again and it becomes rote. Part of who you are, the core of your being. There are many things we do sing, breathe, blink, stretch, contort our faces in ways that show the underlying sentiment, or not. My face has a mind all it's … Continue reading Advent, Lent, Rote, and Renewal
Waltzing
Backwards in High Heels. I'm linking over the page where she explains why she chose the name. I'd heard the quote/story of Ginger Rogers doing everything everything Fred Astaire did, only backwards, and in high heels. Every once in a while when I was a teenager I'd watch waltzing competitions on PBS. These competitions were … Continue reading Waltzing
Trust and Hope
My sweetie and I generally go to the 7 PM Mass on Sunday at one of the local parishes. We do our best to get to Church about 1/2 an hour early for some quiet time and prayer, to enter into the moment of the Mass, when Jesus becomes real and Present, where we … Continue reading Trust and Hope
Trust
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m_sWJQm2fs A simple five letter word that bears and holds so much. Trust. In Matthew 14: 22 to 33 we read part of the Scripture where Jesus asks Peter and the disciples to trust. Peter most specifically in that, it is Peter who steps out in great faith to walk on water out to Jesus. … Continue reading Trust
