the sacred ordinary: The Woman With One and One Half Legs
http://thesacredordinary.blogspot.com/2011/07/woman-with-one-and-one-half-legs.html
And the ordinary ordinary. Thursday, July 28, 2011. The Woman With One and One Half Legs. My friend, Fern, teaches yoga for all abilities. She works with older people and not so old people who sometimes do yoga sitting in chairs and moving what they can. When they finish class, they've had good yoga practice filled with healthy, mindful breathing, stretching and loving attention for their bodies and souls. I've been thinking a lot about legs and motion. Last week I happened across. Wonderful.It is al...

the sacred ordinary: November 2011
http://thesacredordinary.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
And the ordinary ordinary. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. I ache to draw. At morning coffee (a ritual like Matins to be prayed each day, alone or in company) a still life image emerges. Drain Board with Dormant Orchid. Beside is an inverse coffee carafe and cone, a sharp knife, the glass jar my husband uses for his morning fiber, all framed by perfect taupe tiles. I take out a pencil. But I still ache to draw. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Get yourself a calendar! Color In My Piano.

the sacred ordinary: Going Away and Coming Home
http://thesacredordinary.blogspot.com/2012/02/going-away-and-coming-home.html
And the ordinary ordinary. Saturday, February 18, 2012. Going Away and Coming Home. When your shirt gets a stain, you should take it off and apply a product called Stain Stick. If the stain is really bad, people who know about these things will have solutions. Solutions in which the shirt can be soaked to regain its original fresh quality. Antigua is a meditation on color. We gazed on popsicle blue, snow-cone blue, Paralandra blue, the not-to-be-believed blueish green famous from 1970s backyard swimm...

the sacred ordinary: Beauty as Spiritual Practice
http://thesacredordinary.blogspot.com/2012/02/beauty-as-spiritual-practice.html
And the ordinary ordinary. Wednesday, February 22, 2012. Beauty as Spiritual Practice. The Sacred Ordinary is on pilgrimage for the next 40 days. You can come along on the journey at:. Beauty as Spiritual Practice. August 21, 2013 at 12:03 PM. Your prose is pure poetry. I just put Brother Lawrences book The Practice of the Presence of God on hold at the library, and here I see your comment and profile on Shirley Showalters blog. I love the idea of beauty as spiritual practice, for so it is.

Plane to Spain – el camino trio
https://elcaminotrio.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/plane-to-spain
3 sisters 500 miles =? Well, we are officially on the plane to Spain – Shane is curled up next to me in fleece blankets, attempting to sleep in her tiny middle-row seat. Normally I’d love to gaze at the unfurling oceanic landscape during sunset, but unfortunately I’m as far away from a window as can be, so I’m trying the next best thing: writing. But in reality, people are full of surprises, and I at least am always learning more about myself and my own complexities. I liked her answer because it reminde...

the sacred ordinary: September 2011
http://thesacredordinary.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
And the ordinary ordinary. Monday, September 19, 2011. Going Away to College. Girls are unloading funky desk lamps, personal cases of bottled water and plastic bins of colorful textiles. A family from New Jersey unloads a full-length mirror in store packaging. Another freshman has a floppy stuffed dog. Everyone carries plastic Target bags. Here's what my son brought:. Laptop, Laptop charger. Telephone, Telephone charger. 1 sheet set, comforter and pillow (all white). 2 Packs of Mechanical Pencils. Around...

the sacred ordinary: Christmas Future and Existential Questions
http://thesacredordinary.blogspot.com/2012/01/christmas-future-and-existential.html
And the ordinary ordinary. Friday, January 6, 2012. Christmas Future and Existential Questions. Then my father died of a heart attack at 72 and my mother died of lung cancer at 69. They both had non-smoking, low fat, good exercise life styles. I'm 52. It's possible I have 20 years more to live. or 17. or 40. or 1. Maybe I have just this month or just this minute. It makes a difference! I like to plan ahead. Just this morning I made my shopping list for Christmas Black Cake. There is fruitcake and there i...

the sacred ordinary: The Monkey Bowl
http://thesacredordinary.blogspot.com/2012/01/monkey-bowl.html
And the ordinary ordinary. Saturday, January 21, 2012. I knew I'd find it eventually. The monkey bowl is tiny - the perfect size for a spoonful of nuts or maybe three olives. Nine years ago I bought it for my mother. It was the perfect present for someone surrounded by a lifetime of precious chotchkies. She could have a little snack from it while reading. If you would like some plants, I will arrange an honorarium in my mother's memory for each one you take. Attic items are also available. Today I climbe...
