I have been dreaming, after a long dream drought. I reopened the faucet of dreaming first by participating in an online dream workshop series with Robert Moss, and later with a new teacher, Ariella Daly. I’d worked with Robert many times, and am grateful for his new online offerings. In one of our guided dreamingContinue reading “The Bible, the Bee, and the Spider”

When I am 64…
It is MY birthday and I am 64. I take after Daddy, so I am not yet grey. I walked almost 8 km yesterday. (We are celebrating in Alma and Fundy National Park.) I climbed back up the Laverty Falls trail without getting out of breath, while my hubby at 53 had to keep stoppingContinue reading “When I am 64…”
Hidden Things
Easter Sunday when I was eight years old, must have been cold and snowy, because I remember I had to wear my boots to church. I remember that very clearly, as well as the mess of feelings Little Me was having that morning. I am the oldest of six, but that Easter we were onlyContinue reading “Hidden Things”
Tending the Flame 2
This morning, this poem by Allison Rennie, ©Feb 2021, arrived in my inbox. I loved the poem enough to ask her permission to share, which she graciously gave. Thank you, Allison. Candles that won’t light are the bane of any worship leader, even when the worship is solitary, at home, for online services or privateContinue reading “Tending the Flame 2”
A Different Sort of Love
Happy Valentine’s Day! Today’s sermon is about Love, not the usual kind of love that we celebrate on Valentine’s Day. Today you will hear about Elijah and Elisha, the strength of Elisha’s love for his mentor, and Elisha’s courageous determination not to look away from Elijah even at the moment of his death. I wasContinue reading “A Different Sort of Love”
Loose Ends, a Lenten Practice (1)
I like things to be in order. I like cupboard doors closed, books arranged so they are easy to find when needed, my grocery list arranged in the same order as the aisles in the store. I’m not obsessive about these things, but order, having things and activities in order, my order, keeps my stressContinue reading “Loose Ends, a Lenten Practice (1)”
Loose Ends, A Lenten Practice (2)
I have started gathering loose ends, writing them down on slips of paper, curling them into twists with scissors, and tucking them into my Loose Ends box. Some loose ends, like dust, are never finished. Some will eventually get done, like the leaky faucet I mentioned the other day. Other loose ends went officially toContinue reading “Loose Ends, A Lenten Practice (2)”
A Bigger Box
I woke this morning at 3:30 am. I am an early to bed, early rise, sort of person, but 3:30 is ridiculous. My first thought was that sleep time is boring; I’d rather be up and reading with coffee. Sleep is much more fun if there are dreams, and my dreams have been sparse. IContinue reading “A Bigger Box”
Tending the Flame
Early morning prayers and a candle lit for peace … but it keeps going out! Last time I used this candle, I pressed the soft wax back toward the wick, too tightly, perhaps. The candle sat on my shelf, beautiful, for almost a year, unlit, and now when I want to pray for peace, IContinue reading “Tending the Flame”
Discovering Your Personal Rhythm for Healthy Living
Happy 2021! A few weeks ago, I was asked to prepare a video lecture for students in the Human Services program at the New Brunswick Community College. They, like everyone else, are doing virtual classes in our COVID circumstances. Now that the students have had their turn, I’m making the video public. Most of itContinue reading “Discovering Your Personal Rhythm for Healthy Living”
