Laurelhurst
Summer The ducks surging boisterously like so many Behans to the bar, their cacaphonous mates circling this way and that; efficient wives getting supper on the hob. A tawdry magpie also voicing disappointment that she cannot join them in the water. Here, too, in the tranquil and quiet, is the noise of community teaming along the shores of Laurelhurst. The afternoon sun basks everything into a…

Playgrounds & Blossoms
I thought of this quote the other day, from a science-fiction classic: Men go and come, only Earth abides. – George R. Stewart
It brought the biblical source to mind:
Vanity Of Human Toil
What profit have we from all the toil which we toil at under the sun?
One generation departs and another generation comes, but the world forever stays.
The sun rises and the sun sets; then it presses on to…

Commandments…
Well, here we are again – the week that changed the world. Holy Week. In the past, I have mused, and shared thoughts of faith in a variety of ways: in works of art, with thought-provoking Scripture, or discussion of the traditions from across two millennia. So instead of inundating my many Facebook friends with a barrage of images and such, I thought just one subtle prompt might do.
I was…

Patience as a Way of Life
It’s pretty clear to me, that during this time at home here, helping my mom recover from her stroke, God is wasting no time at all, teaching me things. And not just any “things…&#…

Mystery
Le Pichet
Communal seating, intimate, Thrusting pairings of strangers one upon another Old friends, out catching each other up with the latest Ladies night out, dessert and, oh, un petit verre… Lovers leaning in, intent on becoming even closer Partners leaning away, determined to escape farther The pulse of the city, throbbing, more and more urgent Traffic teaming by, stop and go, frustrated, noisy.…

Insouciance
Thankfully, the cool showers are returning Bruised soul washed by pure, rejuvenating rain. My insouciant emotion needing cleansing. I ante up with my apathy and pain. Creating a scrubbed, intemerate palette, Color and passion paint the day like the tide. Rebellious I stand against injustice, set To be principled once more, Ate at my side, My ken of myself is restored to me – alive.

Heart at Sea
Raven tresses, crashing over the bow, wild, uncontrollable, yawing this way and that, the tempest buffeting his senses with waves of strawberry, and cream, and rose – more inebriating than any Tuscan grape, more addicting than any leather-bound tome – an ocean gaze stares back at the doubt, as a looking glass with piercing insight and serenity. At once linens become pools of calm in the…

Be the Nuance, Thankfully
We are a Nation of immigrants. On Thanksgiving, instead of cooking, a friend of mine went down to set up tables to feed about 1,000 hungry people. She is from Belarus. Fifty-six years ago, my mom took a military hop, from Germany, with this airsick 5 month old baby. With lots of stops, I was told – Iceland, Newfoundland, Philadelphia. Coming to America.
Yesterday, Thanksgiving Day, is…

O stupid Galatians! [::chuckling::] Tell us how you really feel, Paul.
Yesterday we talked about – – – adoption and circumcision. To adopt the Fatherhood of God and to be adopted into the Kingdom of Heaven in order to feed the world day after day through the Eucharist. And Paul pointed out that God wants a circumcision, alright – a circumcision of the heart. To cut out and excise those things…

Can Your Heart Hear?
Can Your Heart Hear?
Yesterday we spoke of Saint Francis and poverty and humility. To grab ahold of our yoke, in submission to God. It is poverty that we let go of our treasures and it is humility to not ask for payment. It is Love, the mutual othering of society; I shall wish you well, with all my strength, heart and soul, and desire nothing in return. That’s love! You must surrender yourself. Now, let’s…

Brother Sun
I am certain that each and every one of us have all felt weary and burdened at one time or another. Here, not only is Jesus inviting the weary and the burdened: but reminds us that he is one of them! The fierce interpretations levied out by the Pharisees and scribes, handing out the “yoke” of rabbinical Law, are oppressing the poor of the day. This is why the Lord is constantly reaching out to…

Ezekiel has had one heckuva week, but this, in particular, is a very vivid prophecy. On the surface what do we see? Bones laying around, coming to life. That’s fairly unusual. But the image the prophet is establishing isn’t that God can do all of these things; God is God – He can do as He pleases; of course he can do these things. But, rather that God is willing to do these things, in fact…

Which Way to the Truth
Which Way to the Truth
Paul, lays it out there, doesn’t he? No halfway about it. When he is invited to speak, he does not hold back. He tells Antioch all that has happened, that God raised Jesus from the dead. And he reminds the people it was all told by the prophets. In this, the wisdom of the Lord is shown: Paul’s reputation as a learned man is brought to bear – on the Pharisees! And, so, on through Asia and…
