A Child’s Wisdom
“This is peaceful” - Levi, my son, as we walked the woods recently with his sisters. Wind in the trees, sound like rushing water. So close to the metropolis of a million people, yet a world away too. Well-worn dirt paths, trails much traveled, loved. These places, those I want to insure my children know, …
Inside, Outside
Where we spend our time, inside, outside. Literally, and figuratively. In the world, in our heads. Who are we outside? Inside? The same, or different...? These questions churn through my noggin most days, challenge me, inspire me, forward, the stop! Then forward again. Striving to understand, live the truth, each day, nudge, speed, forward. Inside, …

Vigil to Resurrection: Love Wins
The Paschal Mystery, the Easter Miracle, have long been a wonder. A wonder to me, in any event. How did that happen? Over the years I’ve thought long and hard, and prayed in earnest, waiting, hoping for a revelation. After all these decades, for me the revelation is hope. For me the revelation is that …
What Does It Come Down To?
THIS. From @Pontifex. Francis. I have to say, he speaks for me. And I am grateful. “”From the cross God reigns with the disarmed and disarming power of love. He continues to amaze our minds and hearts. Let us allow ourselves to be filled with that amazement. Let us gaze upon the Crucified One and …
Tribe
A few of the tribe come together, the warmth, the laughter, easy sharing, caring, catching up, so good, so good. What does the tribe do? Some how through some magic, a sense of belonging, knowing, acceptance, concern. It fortifies, reassures, comforts. My tribe? At least two. SCHS85, SCU89. When I’m with these people the thick …
