Holy Ink: April 2011
http://holyink.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Spiritual writing, poetry, essays and short fiction by Cathy Warner. Monday, April 18, 2011. I think about Annie Dillard who wrote Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. Or, would she have stepped back from her observer status and done something? Try to save it, or even try to kill it—quickly, “humanely”? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a writer who, in December 2011, fortified by a new MFA, empty nest, and changes in my husband's employment, relocated from my native California to Washington state to see what would u...

Spiritual writing, poetry, essays and short fiction by Cathy Warner. Monday, July 11, 2011. Draws us toward God. That we might circle. Out into the world. And not be shattered. We can bear hope. Of the spirit’s back. The way may look closed. The space Gods needs. To slip into our lives. We need to bridge. Is thin as breath. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Holy Ink: That First Easter
http://holyink.blogspot.com/2014/04/that-first-easter.html
Spiritual writing, poetry, essays and short fiction by Cathy Warner. Friday, April 18, 2014. I wrote this midrash as an Easter sermon ten years ago. Wanted to share it again. Would the others have believed our fantastic story if men had told it? Somehow, I don’t think so. How can you believe without seeing, the stone rolled away, the body gone? There were those who left the group, searching the city high and low for the missing body of our Lord. He had predicted his death and this rising, but I hadn̵...

Holy Ink: October 2011
http://holyink.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Spiritual writing, poetry, essays and short fiction by Cathy Warner. Sunday, October 02, 2011. Let Us Sing To the Lord. I wrote this poem back in 2004 to honor the many wonderful musicians in my church, and read it again today to honor one of our accompanists who blessed us with her amazing skills for the past six and a half years. It was a joy to work with Char. She thought so carefully about the theme of the service and chose appropriate and beautiful music to offer to us. Let us Sing to the Lord.

Spiritual writing, poetry, essays and short fiction by Cathy Warner. Friday, January 28, 2011. What it Means to Pray. A third excerpt from a longer essay:. Together, she and I wrestled with what it meant to pray. Should we offer each other advice? We did, but our advice was infrequent and gentle. We never expected each other to follow it, but to find our own paths. Did we ask God for exactly what we thought we wanted? To heal my father from cancer? Sunday, January 16, 2011. I'll Pray For You. Sometimes I...

Holy Ink: May 2011
http://holyink.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Spiritual writing, poetry, essays and short fiction by Cathy Warner. Monday, May 30, 2011. I had minor surgery last week, an elective procedure to relieve excess and increasingly painful menstruation. I had reached my limit in coping with this problem that plagued me for decades. Thinking about what I’ve done afterward, I realize that for most of my life I’ve treated my body as a troublemaker, a problem causer. I had an expectation of perfection. I expected my body to operate in textbook fashion. I view ...
