Historical Setting: A stone hovel in an unknown time On this new day I linger in the straw thinking I’ll move but thinking doesn’t make it so. I’m watching the nearly dawn sky, then a fog through the eyelet of the stones at what is surely the eastern arc of this hovel. My clarity ofContinue reading “#80.11 Wednesday, May 27, 2026”

Historical Setting: a stone hovel in an unknown time I’m laid out inside a cavern of neatly stacked stone with a large, boney canine guarding my every move while the little monk, who rescued me is away. When the wooly little man comes in the canine hobbles on her three legs into the dark toContinue reading “#80.10 Tuesday, May 26, 2026”

Historical Setting, 629 C.E. The Farm in the Vosges Mts. “Horses?” Ana dreams. “We could go and visit all our children in their own places now.” “After all these years would you still want to try a long journey, Ana?” “We won’t have to go hard and long with just the twoContinue reading “#58.3, Thursday, July 4, 2024”

Historical setting: 602 C.E. A cottage in the Vosges Healing comes on summer winds. For me, my strength and wit are coming to me in pieces, sometimes with old familiar forms of comfort, sometimes in glimpses of new starts. Thank you, God. Healing of spirit seems to be hovering around my oldest sonsContinue reading “#45.1, Thurs., June 1, 2023”

Historical setting: 602 C.E. The secular church in the Vosges Mater Doe has been keeping watch, offering up, through dark hours, prayers and comfort, a sip of water, a warmer blanket all for a healing that might happen regardless of her tireless efforts. I have new strength already. And I’m driven to graspContinue reading “#44.10 Tues., May 23, 2023”

Historical setting: 602 C.E. The road in the valley My gifted power is healing. Anyone’s healing is one of those unimaginable events of life like birthing, growing, aging, experiencing. It changes us from our physical being right through our hopes and fears. The healed and the caregivers alike are never the same. But theContinue reading “#44.7, Tues., May 16, 2023”

Historical setting: 602 C.E. On the road to Luxeuil When the crowd opens a little the underside of a mass of pilgrims is revealed. Here are the sick and the lame crawling along among the feet of the gathered, just for a touch of a healing hem; [Luke 8:43-48] and here is one carriedContinue reading “#42.12, Tues., March 28, 2023”

Historical setting: 589 C.E. In the Vosges Mountains I’m listening to Ana tell of her fear. “I was raped by the pirates because I tried to escape but quickly discovered we were moored at Aletum, an Island; so I was easily captured back. I wasn’t raped because I was alluring. It was a punishmentContinue reading “Post #32.3, Thurs., May 5, 2022”

Historical setting: 589 C.E. Annegray in the Vosges Mountains Again when we stand for the chanting of the psalms and I look down the row passed the elder monks and to see Brother Crathius, he once more leans forward and makes eye contact with me. This time he is prepared with a nodContinue reading “Post #31.8, Weds., April 20, 2022”

Historical setting: 589 C.E. Annegray in the Vosges Mountains Now we are in the halleluiah season after Easter. The prayers of resurrection seem awkward for pilgrims among us who have come only with the heavy chains of Lenten suffering. The Irish monks celebrate Easter using a different calculation than the Roman pilgrims so theContinue reading “Post #31.7, Tuesday, April 19, 2022”
