Caminante, no hay camino: Of two minds
http://caminantesi.blogspot.com/2015/05/of-two-minds.html
Now with the beatification of Msr Óscar Romero, now Blessed Óscar Romero, this shirt — not the alb, not the chasuble — this shirt drenched with his blood has taken on the level of relic. And with this change of status, the shirt no longer hangs in the display case for all to see but now has been carefully prepared and sewn (? Onto a pillow, which resides inside a glass-and-gilded box with a cross on its top. Said relic will travel from place to place before settling down at the cathedral (? We have the B...

Néant or drifting, take your pick. The days just drift past with little to differentiate one from the next. Occasionally I have a meeting or appointment and yesterday supplied at a church 40 miles away. Otherwise, life up at the end of a dirt road is extremely quiet. The chair desperately needs to be repainted; I sanded it down and painted it when I moved to Vermont 18 years ago. (The basket on the chair is what I use to carry my prayer book, amice, cincture, shoes and sundries when I supply.). The new b...

Caminante, no hay camino: What goes 'round, comes 'round
http://caminantesi.blogspot.com/2014/06/what-goes-round-comes-round.html
What goes 'round, comes 'round. Do I get a bee in my bonnet, but right now a current bee has been buzzing in my head. and that is my incredible disbelief at the parents out there who refuse to vaccinate their children against severe diseases such as measles. To read that there are increasing outbreaks of the measles stupefies me. Never mind that I have relative perfect pitch and sing quite fine, thank you.). PS: Whenever someone cannot remember which is my deaf side, I just say, 'Go for the gold.' I ...

Where is God in this all? Several of the questions from the Office of Transitional Ministry focus on the doing rather than the being of a priest in community, though one certainly can weave in one's theology and core values:. Describe a moment in your recent ministry that you recognise as one of success and fulfillment. Describe your liturgical style and practice. How do you practice incorporating others in ministry? How do you care for your spiritual and emotional well-being? Who are its contacts? Pleas...

Dear, dear Agatha. Dear Miss Agatha Birch Funky Paws of many other names departed this life for the greater life on Thursday 3 January 2013 at 6.00PM in the presence of her loving human can openers, a respectful vet tech and gentle vet. She is now fully once again her feisty, imperious, opinionated self, ready to put any young whippersnapper into shape. So, goodbye, little one. This is one of the last photos I took of us together before we made the final trip. It has only been six days. We have the Bapti...

A dozen or so of us. Helped Eric with his garden. That he would take to his. Wife, Elaine,. And say, 'The jar is empty,'. And she'd fill it. Sat on a shawl of hers. Today, though,. The jar held Elaine's. And we gently and lovingly. Scattered them in her. Garden midst the rows. Awaiting the spring blooms. And while some chose to. Wash their hands after. Scattering these holy ashes,. I did not,. To let them seep into my skin,. To take Elaine's spirit. Only to lift them up. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My Cr...

What class am I anyway? As the politicians drone on about the 'middle class' and we see that folks in Georgetown, District of Columbia and folks on Capitol Heights, D.C. consider themselves middle class, even though the former earns on an average $140K per year and the latter $29K a year, I ask what class am I? It is an extravagance, but I am going to El Salvador soon (booked that ticket before learning of the termination of my health insurance). Their problems are worse than mine. Traveller, there is no...

Nine months without a job and seemingly unable to break through the brick wall that is deployment in The Episcopal Church. I just looked at the classifieds and I am not even qualified to be a housekeeper at a local nursing home. Can't be a secretary or administrative assistant because I don't do Microsoft operating systems. What can I do? Going back into the world with a Ph.D. in medieval French language and literature and a M.Div. doesn't cut it. Now, 364 days later, we pray for those in the path of Isa...
