I once saw a meme/ gif/ internet short that flipped through the seasons. The camera was focused on a group of trees, and they underwent spring and summer and fall and winter. I watched it a few times, and then I saw the caption. The caption was like, "Most people only see this around 80Continue reading "Sprangity Spring"
The Full and Nothin’ But The
I've been thinking about How they say that Water and oil don't mix. I suppose that that is true, For I studied the property of their densities When I was still in middle school. But, I have also observed how oil and water Pool with each other In the gutter, off the curb, near myContinue reading "The Full and Nothin’ But The"
This is love
There is an older man who goes to my tiny-church who is a dear friend of mine. Once, when I returned from an international trip, he found me at mass and whispered me a poem about ships on the ocean returning home, too. Once, in the middle of the winter, he gave me a CDContinue reading "This is love"
That time I embarrassed myself in front of the Archbishop
You all know that I'm helping with an upcoming Archdiocesan Synod; or, if you didn't know, now you do, I guess. In November, our Archdiocese will host a Synod, which will gather hundreds of folks to talk Jesus and church and stuff. Honestly, "helping" with the upcoming Synod kind of looks a lot like "noddingContinue reading "That time I embarrassed myself in front of the Archbishop"
Hello, blog
I feel like my life is so, so, so many things right now that I'm having trouble sorting through all of them and focusing on any one of them for long enough to write a couple hundred words on it. So, instead, maybe I'll just toss out ten minutes worth of brain-on-page and you canContinue reading "Hello, blog"

I just wanted to say: hey, I'm not dead and I have not given up this here blog. But, I am going toContinue reading "Yo, I’ve been at a conference"
Blah blah blah FOOD INTOLERANCES AREN’T FUN
You know that one understanding where you know that everyone's life experience/ reflections are different that yours, but, most of the time you don't think about that too much? "Yes" to this on my end, at least. But, every now and again, I will go into reflection-mode and realize, really, how individual my experience is.Continue reading "Blah blah blah FOOD INTOLERANCES AREN’T FUN"
Heart in tune
My brother has all of the musical stuff. He's the one who bought me my ukulele. He's the one who wakes up and goes downstairs to strum a few riffs through the orange amps in the basement. The other day, I walked downstairs, to where he was playing on one of his electrical guitars, andContinue reading "Heart in tune"
Seven unrelated points in no particular order.
-1- It has been SO COLD here. And snowy. I keep hoping that I can bust out my pumps...and, day after day, there go my boots. Again. -2- I gave a talk at a conference this weekend. It was a chastity talk. To a bunch of middle schoolers. I actually have a lot of opinionsContinue reading "Seven unrelated points in no particular order."
