long distance…
who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man It’s been a few months since we made the big move to Chicago. We’ve been back to visit a couple of times in those months and I am […]

November 28, 2011
Last year at this time I wrote a poem around the theme of Advent. It was my first and so far my only Advent related poem. I thought I’d give myself an assignment in this season of preparation to write each day of December some small thing regarding Advent. For the most part, I’m doing […]
Thanksgiving and the grass being greener….
November 23, 2011
It’s the day before Thanksgiving here in the States. In theory we celebrate this day because we’re proud of our national heritage, the courage and tenacity of the Pilgrims, the Native Americans saving our early ancestors from starving to death. In most school plays it looks like a really fun picnic that the Native Americans […]

November 22, 2011
A few days ago I found this poem hanging out on my sweet friend Anna D’s Facebook page so I borrowed it to share with you all this week. In the States we celebrate Thanksgiving this thursday but rather than try to find something “Thanksgiving-y” I decided that Robert Frost pretty much nailed the frame […]
fotos: grasping
November 18, 2011
I woke up today to find this guy hanging out (literally) on the screen outside my window. I feel like this, grasping on, not completely unequipped for the task yet unprepared to keep at it for any length of time. It’s an uneasy resting place, waiting for an opening. Somewhere.
sopa and the doodling otaku
November 17, 2011
I had it in my head to write a post about the internet legislation before Congress. At this point I’m fairly sure it’s being called SOPA although it’s had a number of incarnations in the last few years. This one scares me a whole lot. It’s probably one of the only pieces of legislation coming […]
nit picking…
November 16, 2011
Hey, guess what I’ve been doing all week? Nit picking. Literally. I’ve been combing through all four of my children’s hair as well as my own hair and Dave’s hair, picking out whatever looks even remotely suspicious to me. I’m using a fine tooth comb. It’s been lousy. Alright, enough of the clever language. Last […]
if not for the storm…
November 15, 2011
It’s no secret, my love of storms. I don’t write about them often but when I do, obviously, I’ll wax metaphorical. Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much…I like this one though so I’ll pass it along. That’s the best place for poetry, passing it along. if not for the storm… If not for the […]

November 10, 2011
It’s hard to avoid writing about hot button issues these days. Each morning seems to bring with it a new rash of hot buttons. I wonder if there really are more things that are tearing us apart now or if we are simply shifting in our spirits. As a country it seems as though we’re […]
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).
