Historical setting: 589 C.E. Poitiers Ana and I have found a cozy quietude in the haymow of this villa stable. I asked her if Colleen, the midwife/servant-slave here is a good teacher. “Teacher, no. She’s more like me as an eight-year-old than she is like my teacher. Lady Elise is due any dayContinue reading “#36.6, Weds., Sept. 14, 2022”

Historical setting: 584 C.E. Ligugè “It’s relentless! The stiff, unbent, notions get painted over the ancient stories and called doctrine. It is as though God needs to be reinvented in each war of Bishops called Councils.” I plead with the master of the inks. “Scrape it clean and start again, Brother Lazarus.” Continue reading “Post #24.7 Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2021”
Post #24.2, Thursday, September 2, 2021
Historical setting: 584 C.E. Ligugè We are considering using more art in our copy of the Gospel of John.

Historical Setting: 562 C.E. Gaul Speaking with young George, we find these fallen stones are a fine place for me to begin our chat. “The bishop mentioned you had a interest in this place that was once a church and, like me, you are also a scribe. Maybe we can share gifts and findContinue reading “Post #5.12 Thursday, February 27, 2020”
Post #5.11 Ash Wednesday, February 26
Historical Setting: 562 C.E. “Oh No! Please. These ashes are sacred.” A tidily attired aristocratic youth struts with the flourish of an elder’s authority; or maybe it is simply the pomp of naive privilege. His accent and manor are conspicuously Frankish. “So you are young George, the one concerned over these ashes? I’mContinue reading “Post #5.11 Ash Wednesday, February 26”
