These beautiful moment no. 4 | the improptu picnic

The beginning of this needs to be the beginning, otherwise, indeed, I just happened to throw another event and take a photo and, really, you could look anywhere on the internet to find more inspiring food or boy-scout approved bonfires or backyards better-weeded than mine (at the moment. cough). The beginning is that: antsy-me stillContinueContinue reading “These beautiful moment no. 4 | the improptu picnic”

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.

(The gifs might load slow…if you have a slow internets connection). Phone call from: Father Pio Maria. Cue all that is good inContinueContinue reading “A call from Fr. Pio Maria–expressed in gifs”

My personal 15 Triduum favorites

This year I visited with friends and parted with, “Merry Triduum!” because I wasn’t sure of the correct greeting. But then a different friend wished me an “Epic Triduum” which fits better, doesn’t it? I didn’t take pictures of the events on Friday or Saturday. Sometimes it’s just better to be present than to rushContinueContinue reading “My personal 15 Triduum favorites”
