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
Today I watched on YT one of my fav interviewers and he had a special video that was excerpts from past interviews. 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.””
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?”

I always thinkContinue reading “Choose JOY”
Puzzling ….
Have you ever stopped and thought to yourself this is puzzling? What is it to be puzzled? How can we use this experience of being puzzled as a positive and grow through it to complete the picture? I am listening to some great podcasts and YT video recordings talking about values, beliefs and rock-bottom thinking.Continue reading “Puzzling ….”
What’s EARLY!?
Today … and the past week or so I have been up before 6 AM! Why because I am staying with my family and there are two young men in my world daily! One morning I was wakened at 5:45 AM! He stood at the edge of the bed and said, “Gramma, I kind ofContinue reading “What’s EARLY!?”
Time … I have talked about this before
Where does time collapse into? Whether I think about something from 62 years ago, in 1963 like my sister’s wedding where I was a flower girl at four years old, or my thoughts about yesterday’s hike in the woods, where do these memories go for me to then recollect them later? I find that soContinue reading “Time … I have talked about this before”
Recovery …. What is it?
I am in recovery and am open about that. I am recovering from abusing my body for many years, while letting the world think I was fit and healthy and strong. I wasn’t. I was a coward. I was hiding. I was harbouring secrets. I was abusive to myself. I was the opposite of foundContinue reading “Recovery …. What is it?”
