This is so beautiful, Sarah, and challenging. But it is right. I will try to join the Zoom. It happens to be also the feast of St. Hildegard von Bingen that day, a day to celebrate beauty and vision, revelation in both the spiritual and natural worlds, which are not as far apart as we think.
Two practical comments: I love your tags at the end about mistakes and AI, and your mission with your books; and also, I think you should submit your writing to First Things magazine. Liel Leibovitz is a columnist there and I’d love to see your articles or poetry there.
Wow Vesper thank you so much. I’m just finding my voice here so your comment means so much! How wonderful if you can join the Zoom. A sharing of feast days. It’s so precious to have a day about vision and revelation. The natural world reveals so much of the spiritual (like with clouds). I will look up the mag! Thank you! And, yes it’s lucky I have the AI comment because I see I made a mistake (sigh being human). Just blessings and love to you!
Your words are like a balm, Sarah, helping me cope through the sadness. We’ve had days of rain, angry thunder and dark skies - the grief over the six hostages is overwhelming but today the sky is blue and the clouds are full and fluffy. I feel guilty, but I smile - an act of defiance. I join you in your mission and will not let them steal my joy. Be safe and keep your eyes on the skies and your head in the clouds. I want to believe that six new angels are up there, bashamayim, in the heavens, finally in peace.
