The smell of coffee and some soft music coming from my computer. None of the apps or streaming I have work here. Kind of a forced withdrawal. Books are my friends. Particularly, Richard Wagamese and his book called “Embers” One Ojibway’s Meditations. As I read his words I stop and I think. Here on pageContinue reading “To be here….. is to be made more!”

Do you pack your fears?
Today I am preparing to go to a wee cabin/cottage on Rice Lake. It is about a three hour drive east of my home and I am preparing for the week. I have homework to do, books to read and two classes to join on zoom. This is a first for me, going to aContinue reading “Do you pack your fears?”
Called to Cull – Am I odd or awed?
Richard Wagamese truly touched my heart today. I am working on a course called “personal spirituality” and we are reading many of the classics. Writers and theologians like St. Augustine, Teresa of Avila, Julian of Norwich, and John Bunyan and I am thoroughly enjoying this experience of awe. The best part of this course isContinue reading “Called to Cull – Am I odd or awed?”
Called to Cull
So being called to cull! What does that mean? I have moved much in my life both physically and metaphorically and I am better for it. I can sit on an item now and decide if it will bring me joy or encumbrance. I can let go of things because I know in my heartContinue reading “Called to Cull”
Adama means ground in Hebrew
I am preparing for a course this term (Spring term) called Indigenous Theologies. I was given two text that need to be read prior to the May 11 start. I am in an interesting place in my life as I read these text. I wonder how everything seems to be sychronistic (not syncretic a newContinue reading “Adama means ground in Hebrew”
The key is in your pocket

It is called Life Advice from 80+ Year Olds You Didn’t Know You Needed and has people I who I know their work well. He omitted their identity, (why I don’t know, oversight?)Continue reading “The key is in your pocket”
The challenge of knowing
These pieces are all random and laying around my table. They represent a picture that will come together when I take the time to move them and match them up. Otherwise, this puzzle, in its scatter will simply remain scattered. Our lives are a splat! A scattering of puzzle pieces according to Dr. Sue Mortar.Continue reading “The challenge of knowing”
“Where there is life there is hope.”
This title is a quote from my favourite show, Downton Abbey, of course. If you have followed my writing at all I am sure you know that. I was standing at the front window looking to the east as the sun was appearing and thought to myself how blessed I am. Where there is lifeContinue reading ““Where there is life there is hope.””
spiritual awareness
It’s been a while since I put fingers to keys to write anything beyond a short post. I have not blogged or vlogged on our DanCyn’ Adventures channel either. I have been on sabbatical. It was not really planned, it just happened AND it was not paid, other than my regular older adult income. ThatContinue reading “spiritual awareness”
multi-tasking or multi-convoluting?
I have so many projects on the go right now because I like to have variety of crafting. I need to challenge myself to pick up the project and decide where I am and what it is I need to do next. This keeps me “busy” in my mind. What keeps me busy in myContinue reading “multi-tasking or multi-convoluting?”
