glass…
I am stuck between looking back and looking forward, always. On this last day of the year I am thinking about the lens through which I choose to see, for now we see but through a glass, darkly. Is there hope of even having a clear lens in this life? Today, I’m thinking that if […]
curtain #2….
December 29, 2010
A quick look at my nightstand today reveals something I already knew but hadn’t quite put together yet. I want to be healthy. It brings up a lot of weird things for me lately so thought I’d write about it today, this being the last week of 2010 and all. The three books I’m giving […]
pwem…
December 28, 2010
I confess. I did not ask permission to post this next poem. I think the author will forgive this seeing that he’s my dad. It’s because of my dad that whenever I am about to say the word “poem” out loud I very nearly say “pwem” instead. One syllable, pwem. It’s a silly thing but […]
Missive: hardship
December 27, 2010
Dear One, I know that your life is not without hardship. Every life has it’s hardship, even the most seemingly pleasant or outwardly privileged life has it’s own flavor of hardship. It’s hard to believe this most days from where we sit, in our own hurting and damaged bodies. Some days it’s impossible to believe […]
messenger…
December 23, 2010
Every year when I was a kid my mom would get my siblings and myself an ornament for Christmas. There were elaborate ones my dad brought home from Vietnam Nam, there were matching handmade offerings from lean years. Mine was usually an angel, because I am Angela, the messenger. This is an old favorite, it […]
people of the story…
December 22, 2010
For many of us this is a joyous time of year…or it’s meant to be a joyous time of year at least. It’s a time when many of us understand better the miraculous nature of our shared story. It’s a crazy story. It’s a story in which God becomes human, comes to Earth the way […]

I really ought to post a “Christmas-y” poem today. I’m not going to do that though, perhaps later in the week. I have some ideas of where I can point you for some sweet Christmas/Advent poem love. Today, however, I’ll give you this tidbit. Been working on this for a couple of weeks now ever […]

Dear one, Here’s a space…see? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Go back up there. Imagine that each invisible […]
fotos: christmas spirit
December 17, 2010
I found some Christmas spirit this week, at the bottom of a box that has lived in the attic all year. My lovely girl took time to hang it on this tree.
advent for atheists…
December 15, 2010
If there is one thing I hate, it’s being put into a box. This does make things difficult for me, however, as far as “demographics” and “audience” categories go. It makes it difficult for me to exploit the obvious key words I might use to get more readers or put myself on a track toward […]
metaphor
from the Latin. metaphora,
from Gk. metaphora "a transfer," especially of the sense of one word to a different word,
lit. "a carrying over," from metapherein "transfer, carry over," from meta- "over, across" (see meta-) + pherein "to carry, bear" (see infer).
