First attempt at a time lapse of making prayer beads. Nice to know it doesn’t catch all the times I had to chase a bead across the floor. ⚓️📿🧶

Maybe postmodernism doesn’t suck? Haven’t read it yet, but the concept made me laugh so hard, I figured I should give it a try. #goldengirls #booksky

I’m probably more neutral than this, since I try to have something erudite (those books I never read in high school, theology, history, politics) and something escapist going at the same time.

Home and so filled from our parish retreat at Cathedral Ridge. From gentle deer in the sunrise, to teaching about the Anglican rosary, a thistle in the moonset (which probably should be the title of an epic fantasy novel), and the labyrinth: It is a packed and wonderful weekend. ⚓️📿

I don’t particularly like pink. I’m honestly not a fan of bright, brassy gold. But damn if this doesn’t look good together. 📿⚓️

In alignment with @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s encouragement to take your frustration and where you see our society falling short and use it to fuel creation and point it out. Write songs. Write poems. Paint. Write editorials. All is not lost. (Also among my absolute favorite books of all time.) ⚓️

I was logging analytics and trends for my prayer beads store and (mentally) uttered a phrase that has probably never happened in all of Christian history. “Wow. Saint Francis is so hot right now.” 🧶⚓️

@heathercoxrichardson sitting down to write her daily update with a cup of calming chamomile tea and just as she finishes and closes her laptop 76,000 more absurd and diabolical things happen and she reaches for a bottle of tequila, a pack of cigarettes and slowly sits back down again.

Truly ⚓️ One of the philosophic questions that lives with me is Plato’s cave: when we are trying to understand who we are, what we are, why we are, do we see the world around us—and ourselves—as it/ we truly is/ are, or do we see the shadow and reflection of what we want to see? #adventword2025

Recompense ⚓️ I think most of us have had some sort of teaching that good times in our lives are a repayment for going through bad times. Which sort of sounds like an abusive relationship with the universe. 1/2 #adventword2025 #episcopal #recompense

Abundantly ⚓️ When I worked for the Diocese, one of the things I did was to read all the parish and diocesan newsletters that came in. I have a vivid memory of reading a bishop’s reflection about the importance of strawberries as a theological symbol of abundant grace. 1/3 #adventword2025

Honor ⚓️ I suppose I find it difficult to honor any human. This is the statue of Ghandi at the entrance to the MLK Center in Atlanta. MLK found inspiration for non-violence in the legacy of Ghandi. But Ghandi held fairly strong beliefs that Africans were racially inferior. 1/2 #adventword2025
