Brown Notes: 11.08
http://brownnotes.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
I'll take you where nobody knows you, and nobody gives a damn. Sometimes I filter what I want to say so heavily that I have days where it's so overwhelming I find I can't say anything. I don't need any type of recognition, I just don't find myself jumping any type of gun to share my thoughts when I don't know who I'm giving them too. . More than I act upon my initial impulse, that's for sure. The problem with all of this emerges when you end up filtering everything. Everything is really quiet. Good News ...

Brown Notes: 03.08
http://brownnotes.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
We're all just a little flaky. Through a response to a previous entry I found exactly what I've been looking for:. Well, most men have bound their eyes with one or another handkerchief, and attached themselves to some one of these communities of opinion. This conformity makes them not false in a few particulars, authors of a few lies, but false in all particulars.". The first attack: poetry club, 12:00 pm. Can I write with a brown pencil? I don't rememberrr.". Uh, I can't tall ANYONE what I did.". Breaks...

Brown Notes: this side of me--
http://brownnotes.blogspot.com/2008/06/this-side-of-me.html
This side of me-. There’s a pressure to begin; a pressure to create something worth reading, something articulate and graceful that explains this silence I’ve encompassed- there’s a blinking curser constantly reminding me that if I stop trying then my words remain my thoughts and my thoughts will remain unformulated. There’s a pressure to explain, a pressure to begin. Or am I selling short? I like songs about drifters - books about the same. They both make me feel a little less insane.". This side of me-.

Finding the Art in Everything. 17 May, 2013. Where God Has Curly Hair, Wears Running Shorts, Loves Tea and Oreos, and Knows That We Need More Beer and Men. A portrait - Coffee, Tea, and Sisterhood. I am wracking my brain right now for good stories about my. Life in Northern California that don’t feature at least one of these girls. I don’t have many. This is for three reasons:. I met them 6 weeks after I got here. We’ve spent an insane amount of time together. And I mean sisters. Sisters see you no makeu...

The Strand: March 2011
http://crossingthestrand.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Finding the Art in Everything. 12 March, 2011. I is for Israelites. No one tells you that freedom first feels like death. I met with my spiritual director this week and confessed that I want to go home. In a way that bears down on me like a physical weight. And while I know my "old life" is impossible to retrieve, it's the only name I can put on the relief I crave. When I explained this to my spiritual director, he said, "I bet you're asking God, 'Did you bring me out here to die? But the answer is.

The Strand: April 2013
http://crossingthestrand.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Finding the Art in Everything. 28 April, 2013. Where God is in The Tent. This morning a friend preached from Exodus 33, about the Israelites’ reaction to when Moses went to meet God in the Tent of Meeting. He reminded us that the tent was there for everyone to enter, but only two did. He implored us to daily enter the Tent as Moses and Joshua did, because we, too, are dependent on God’s Presence and Glory. I'm desperate for it. We believe God is now with us all the time. Yet we still have to go looking.
