AAR PNW — I am still digesting the richness of our regional meeting this past weekend, and feeling grateful for nourishing conversations. Our region covers a geographic expanse that is daunting: Alaska to Oregon, the coast inland to Edmonton, AB and Helena, MT. Religious and theological programs are peppered here and there—the ones still open, at least.

I tried to buy a different pair, more sensible, less of a statement. But these shoes occupied my ocular field, curtailing thought of all others--and the cushion! They felt like pillows made individually for my right foot and my left. These shoes were made for long walks though city neighborhoods, for adding a punctuation mark to the day, for saying, 'don't be so quick to judge.'

And look: the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split, And the tombs were opened and many bodies of those holy ones who had fallen asleep were raised (Mt 27.51-52)

Spring equinox ✨a time for freshness, the aroma of dirt, the collection of twig and twine for nests, the verdant flows of energy toward the sun. It’s time to come to life after generative slumbering. 🌱 #springequinox #daffodils #greenisthecolor

This is not quite the mood I was looking for to inspire chapter four. But as long as the battery holds… 🌬️🌚🕯️

And here I thought I had found a good spot for the birds’ suet feeder…… 🙄

Hi. Happy new year, from me. If we haven’t chatted in a while, chances are, I miss you and your insightful, interesting, and novel comments or observations about the world. You see, the greatest gift I have received during my time (thus far) on planet earth is that of meeting folks who might not think much of themselves, but who are really quite unique, and special, and whom I appreciate quite a lot. That’s you, by the way. Years may blend together, but friendships always begin with that singular moment, of recognition, appreciation—that a-ha! A kindred spirit! Here’s to shared smiles, good conversation, and another new year. ✨

How do you do Friday nights when it’s blustery and rainy?
