A clean, well-lighted place. October 25 is Saints Crispin's and Crispian's Day. Those Protestant-types among us will likely not remember any significance about this day in relation to the aforementioned saints, two shoemaker brothers named Crispin and Crispian; that is unless the Protestant-type in question has ever seen Shakespeare's Henry V and heard the rousing ". StCrispin's Day speech" given by King Henry to his vastly-outnumbered men just prior to the Battle of Agincourt. Shall be my brother; be he...

A clean, well-lighted place. Stuck in Traffic (From October 2012). It's hard for me to write this post because I want to make certain that I am writing from love, but because what motivates me is indignation, I know I might easily come off as either whiny and weak or partisan. If either of those conditions are what you get from this post, I will have failed. While others were paying attention to people. But there is much worse out there! There are people who wish to exploit the honest religious faith of ...

A clean, well-lighted place. If ever we see those gardens again,. The summer will be gone—at least our summer. Some other mockingbird will concertize. Among the mulberries, and other vines. Will climb the high brick wall to disappear. How many footpaths crossed the old estate—. The gracious acreage of a grander age—. So many trees to kiss or argue under,. And greenery enough for any mood. What pleasure to be sad in such surroundings. At least in retrospect. For even sorrow. 169; Graywolf Press, 2001.

A clean, well-lighted place. I mean, you might as well welcome the new year because being inhospitable to it won't do anything good for you. :o) And that is true of so many things. For instance, you can push hard against whatever you encounter and make it worse, or you can accept it as it is and try to dance with it a little. Dance the dance to the tune that is playing; don't try to make the music fit the steps you have practiced and prepared for because you will be the one who looks silly, not the music.

A clean, well-lighted place. Welcome to the planet. Here we are- four months into 2011, and what have I shown the throngs of people who follow this blog so far? You would think that I have been up to absolutely nada in this world. In truth, I have been terribly busy at work, and haven't been taking part in much of my usual activities, so I have had little worth writing about. That is, unless you count having a beautiful, funny, full-term baby daughter as worth writing about! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

a clean, well-lighted place: Here's an interesting story about bad movers in Houston, TX

A clean, well-lighted place. Here's an interesting story about bad movers in Houston, TX. I found this story HERE: http:/ cartermovinghouston.blogspot.com/. First off, let me admit that I feel terribly foolish for taking to the internet about this incident. The whole story makes me feel weak and ashamed for not being more defensive and clever. But, when I think that telling this story might make a difference for some other schmuck out there, I know that writing it all down is good. Here's the basic story:.

A clean, well-lighted place. But there I go, again, weighing this monologue to may way of thinking. I love the way this poem, by Mark Jarman, strips away concepts of God as a thing- idolatrous versions of The Real God- and replaces that with the Truth that God is NO-THING, and therefore beyond concepts of God. Jesus is as close as we can get (I believe), and we pretty much mess Him up, too, and use Him in ungodly ways (and there I go yet again! I swiped it from Steph Drury's blog Get your adverbs here.
