aargh
*Originally published March 16, 2016
Yesterday it was not there.
Today I saw in the distance a piece of paper.
aargh I thought.
More litter in these magnificent woods.
I marched over.
I would be the environmentalist to take charge and tear it off.
But I changed my mind.
I'm a writer,
a mediator,
a pastor,
an educator,
a lover of the arts,
a wife,
a mother,
and on occasion,
a pot stirrer.
Living in medias res
Grief can lead to smoldering hate or to new meaning of life.
It is better to be of a lowly spirit among the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud. Proverbs 16:19 NRSV
The experience of being part of a holy moment is deepened when we prepare.
Repression breeds violence.
