I need to renew my passport, so I am, because I believe in traveling. I filled out the form and went to get my picture taken at an official place (an urban Walgreens which, upon cross-examination, didn’t carry the hair products I was looking for…mostly the aisle was full of products for thicker, textured hairsContinueContinue reading “On renewing my passport”

What about when you have to wait?
On Sunday, after church and church-y things, I sat around with my brothers and the young, tall priest at my parents’ church and he was like, “Do you guys just want to jam?” because that’s how he talks. So, they began playing. They tried to stick to songs that the small crowd mingling about wouldContinueContinue reading “What about when you have to wait?”
There is no title. I’m too tired.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO STARE LONG AND HARD INTO THE FACE OF EMOTIONAL-EATING?? Allow me to present my dinner: This is how I respond to long days, apparently. Last Sunday, when I went on a hike, I decided to snap some photos, “in case I ever needed them.” Well, guess what I need today? SomeContinueContinue reading “There is no title. I’m too tired.”
Thanksgiving, Camino, Question marks. #Wonder
Sometimes I try to appeal to an audience, other times it’s just, “Hey, here are my internal, private, vulnerable thoughts that probably don’t relate to you and your current life-situation.” That’s kind of where we are tonight. Also, I think I’m going to steal two of Julia’s images. So I’ll dedicate this to her, justContinueContinue reading “Thanksgiving, Camino, Question marks. #Wonder”
This is my prayer life
There are days when I feel like Running into the office of the Almighty And holding up a list and saying, “You see?? These are all of the things I don’t know how to do, All of the answers I don’t have, All of my inadequacies and insecurities!” And, in my mind, I would standContinueContinue reading “This is my prayer life”
Grandparents and faith
Last Sunday was Grandparent’s day, which, let’s be real, is probably a Hallmark holiday. But, I’m Catholic and it doesn’t take much of an excuse to get me to celebrate, so that’s just that. My father had a set of parents. His mother died when I was young, so young that memories of the newsContinueContinue reading “Grandparents and faith”

On the wonder of peaches
It’s probably sacrilegious to say this But I feel that eating summer-peaches, Them bursting with sweet and sticky syrup Running down my fingers, face and chin, Is (almost) sacramental. We’re told of the visible signs of the invisible reality And I hear you on marriage, communion, reconciliation, et al. But somehow my spine-craned posture overContinueContinue reading “On the wonder of peaches”
Prodigal Father
What if every morning, in that moment when you’re first aware of yourself and life and breath once more, that very moment is the same moment when God’s heart leaps and He thinks to Himself, with arms outstretched, “Maybe this is the day! Maybe today will be the day she comes back! And I willContinueContinue reading “Prodigal Father”
Dos poemas
Occasionally I write weirdo non-rhyming poetry, and sometimes I even share it here. This is one of those days. (Guinea pigs for anyone who can’t take it). =============================================================================================== Uno Dropping a balloon Sometimes there are two sides. And on one we have everyone and They’re saying, “smaller, smaller, smaller.” Because unknowns should apparently Be handledContinueContinue reading “Dos poemas”
