Oh, hai. Even if you don’t understand Marian devotion, I have a Marian devotion, and we can talk more about it later if you want, but, for now, I’m just going to jump in with some short things, all disconnected, about Mary. I’ve been loving them. Let’s jump in! These don’t connect, but here theyContinueContinue reading “4 quick, unrelated reflections on Mary”

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”
Three reminders about you and your spiritual life
Two Sundays back, in the dark evening, I drove to the close-church because they have a chapel and Jesus is there PERPETUALLY and I was ready for that party, yo. I ran into my youngest brother, though, leaving church and he was like, “Mom said that I should go see this speaker who is presentingContinueContinue reading “Three reminders about you and your spiritual life”
Forever grateful for holy priests
“Can you just remind me about Jesus?” I asked him. I asked because I know he knows Jesus. I know he’s talked to him, heard his words, dropped things and followed. I know he’s deeply familiar with the everlasting love. I know he radiates hope and joy and light, which means he’s given himself awayContinueContinue reading “Forever grateful for holy priests”
For all my ladiez
I don’t always post art on the internets. Because I’m not as brave as other artists. So, when I do, it’s because I’m being for real. This one first: Once it was someone’s birthday. And he had remembered my birthday and he teased me for not remembering his, so I told him I’d take himContinueContinue reading “For all my ladiez”
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”
Realities > ideas
Last Advent I went on a small “retreat” where there were poems and reflections I read every day, and then I’d chat with a religious sister on the phone every evening. I think the point was to be like, “Hmmm, I could be a religious sister if I wanted!” but, that isn’t exactly a pathContinueContinue reading “Realities > ideas”
Talk to me about: being single
Whoa Nelly! This one is long. Long and full of stuffs. Sheesh. Take it in stride. Pop some popcorn, get a cold drank, and wait for a long and uneventful afternoon. Or just wait for a fluffy post, I guess. If that’s what floats your boat. I’ve been mulling over things in my mind, readingContinueContinue reading “Talk to me about: being single”
PALM story!
Remember when I was riding my bike across the state last week so I didn’t really post a whole lot? Yes. Well. Here’s a story for you. Background: Every day there were about fifty miles to ride on the tour. Those fifty miles would project you from point A to point B in pretty muchContinueContinue reading “PALM story!”
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”
