bits of things and non-things: February 2009
http://mitsuoh.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Bits of things and non-things. Test all things; hold fast that which is good." 1 thessalonians 5:21. Monday, February 9, 2009. God I realized that we can actually experience God directly when we communally wait upon the scriptures just like we wait upon him. We didn't come to any glorious revelations about the psalm that night, but that was okay. We just sat with it, and we found ourselves in a prayerful state that was sweeter than anything we could have done to wrangle that thing into making sense.

Bits of things and non-things. Test all things; hold fast that which is good." 1 thessalonians 5:21. Friday, January 29, 2010. Just thought I'd share. One night at the co-op, a chance encounter of some very politicized Palestinians (and their activist American cohorts) exploded in the kitchen. One guy's criticism of some Palestinian politicians brought down angry accusations of siding with Israel, and it soon devolved into a venomous screaming match. If only that happened more often, you know? Growing To...

Bits of things and non-things. Test all things; hold fast that which is good." 1 thessalonians 5:21. Monday, December 29, 2008. What I think about Plainness, for now. So, I have been led to adopt Plain dress, at least for now (I have no idea what will happen next year, or even tomorrow for that matter). . I was made aware of The New Plain among Quakers when I randomly came across Quaker Jane’s website ( http:/ www.quakerjane.com. But then, some time mid-October, I was hit. . I removed my watch and belt...

bits of things and non-things: A letter from a friend
http://mitsuoh.blogspot.com/2010/10/letter-from-friend.html
Bits of things and non-things. Test all things; hold fast that which is good." 1 thessalonians 5:21. Friday, October 1, 2010. A letter from a friend. Whilst typing up hundreds of pages of notes from my boss I stumbled across this quote on aspen trees in myths, which called to mind a conversation we had about how awesome Aspen trees are. Aspens were thought to tremble because they had the most acute hearing and were moving in response to a divine calling.". I hope that all is well with you in Providence!

bits of things and non-things: June 2009
http://mitsuoh.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Bits of things and non-things. Test all things; hold fast that which is good." 1 thessalonians 5:21. Friday, June 5, 2009. Practice: Share with someone who is homeless or hungry. . By sharing, I don’t mean simply giving, as in giving away money. . Handing someone pocket change is one thing, but offering them your food is another. I went on a hitchhiking/backpacking trip in which my friend and I slept in the abandoned places of civilization and ate only what we could forage. . While we were standing o...

Walhydra's Porch: Austin: 1922-2013
http://walhydra.blogspot.com/2013/02/austin-1922-2013.html
Curmudgeonly musings from an old Virgo. Sunday, February 03, 2013. My relationship with my father has always been more complexly private than the one with my mother. To some extent this is sadly true for many men and their fathers, at least in patriarchal cultures. There are societal and biological pressures on men—almost from birth on—expectations that they be “real men,” constantly testing and competing with and doubting each other. But put all that aside. He died in his sleep on January 16, 2013.

Walhydra's Porch: No one gets out alive
http://walhydra.blogspot.com/2013/03/no-one-gets-out-alive.html
Curmudgeonly musings from an old Virgo. Monday, March 18, 2013. No one gets out alive. Walhydra knows she is not the only person ever to have parents die. She knows she is not the only one to realize that she is mortal. But she is trying to be observant. At bedtime last night, she told hubby Jim, “I seem to be going through an inventory of all the things that can go wrong with my body.”. Every day, she reads about another woman gang-raped in India, or another funeral procession slaughtered in Pakistan.

Commit to blessing," my journal entry says. September 11th, 2007. What is to become of our planet earth? Communities, and our very own families? Is it too late to reverse the dying and the killing of Mother Earth and life as we know it? What may we learn from each other - the people of the earth, the animals, nature? And so I begin my commitment to blessing - Judy Brutz, a Quaker blogger. View my complete profile. Subscribe To Commit to Blessing. Graceful Presence - Meredith. Shower of Blessings - Paul L.
