  • Let the Sacred Find Us

    Yesterday, on the crispest, clearest autumn day that we’ve had so far this year, I sat for a few minutes in the garden.  The midday sunlight shone through the maple canopy overhead, illuminating the leaves bright red against the backdrop of the bluest sky imaginable.  Later, inside, we sat together in refuge.  We were a…

  • Wonder

    Maybe I should have better things to do. But, for me, right now; I need to slow things down, stop looking at my phone, and just look at the world around me. Yesterday I stood alone in a field and watched what I thought was a butterfly flutter across the field. But, something about its…

  • Quiescently Frozen Confection Anyone?

So, I attempted to capture the scene in just the right…

  • I’m Baking!

    Guess who’s in charge of making the holiday cookie dough! Admittedly, I have been promoted to Chief Baker status out out of necessity, not because of any great culinary achievements on my part. I am fully capable of reading and following a recipe. But, I know nothing about coaching my 9 year-old daughter’s soccer team.…

  • ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

    Here’s a fun version of “Twas the Night Before Christmas” I wrote back in 2012. I had a little fun recording it last night, and I thought I would share it now, 10 years later. My poem is, of course based on the classic poem “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” by Clement Clarke Moore (1822)…
