This 24 Hour Circle

Good morning... I began my 62nd birthday week writing a blog post entitled The Art of Aging. Now, look what I just found tucked on our bookshelf - a book entitled The Art of Aging by Sherwin B. Nuland. I vaguely remember a generous friend giving me this gift a while back, and I had yet to open [...]

Celebrating A Seder

Coping In Our World

After our life-giving discussion, she sent us all a text: "I just read this poem and it makes me think of our book and the special bond within this group, as we each remind each other that the sun does indeed shine." ****** "Coping" by Audre Lorde It has rained for five days running the world [...]

We Decide Who We Are

Good morning... On my own, I did not understand the material assigned for Sunday's discussion of Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankel. I needed our small group to help spark wise thoughts, make real connections, and weave random words into a warm cloak of wisdom. About ten or twelve of us talked through the chapter, finding our [...]

There Must Be More

Good morning... There’s more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we’re [...]

I Expected More

Good morning... As I walked our dogs before bedtime last night, I marveled at the full moon. Then I went to sleep and I woke again, stepping outside at 12:55 am, expecting to see the highly touted "blood moon." Instead of the gorgeous reddish hue predicted, as the Earth eclipsed the moon, my [...]

Who Are We?

Good morning... A friend sent me this image last night, and for some reasons it's etherial, earthy tones jogged my memory about tonight's unique full moon. A total lunar eclipse will occur at around 12:55 am tonight, taking up to 3 hours, 38 minutes for the Earth to pass in front of the moon. Because of the moon's [...]

Lunch With Audrey

Good morning... Last week, it was delightful to share lunch with Audrey and our Fab Five friends. Having met at a Bible study in my living room many, many years ago, this group of amazing women has stayed in constant touch throughout Audrey's fourteen year journey with cancer, facing traditional treatments for neuroblastoma, repeated relapses, hospital stays in [...]
