Lenten season
Lent has traditionally been one of my favourite times in the Christian calendar, but this year, I find myself going through the motions. Rather than allowing time carved out of my busy schedule, I've been skipping steps and just hoping to get to the end of my papers before I run out of words and breath.
It's Palm Sunday today.
A day of new hope and deep sadness. (but mostly hope and mostly sadness)
The snow is melting, but I still feel its weight.

And it is Advent
I am waiting. so much in my life makes me anxious and I sometimes wonder if right on the other side of that is joy.

This needs a different title, any ideas?
Oh, Baba Yaga I love you
Chicken bone magic
Hidden hut in the forest
Grandmother Monster
Beware women who
walk in forests unafraid.

Advent Meditation: a ghazal
purposeful silence awaiting night
candles lit, gyring, spiralling light
small starts, specks of dust and breath misty
Mother Mary’s womb creating light
walking between faewilds and Christ
closest to God in the witching light
proclaim, proclaim, proclaim! come in
stillness, memory-carrying light
anxiety, embodied litany
catharsis, release, outpouring, light

Letting go
I am finishing a ten day cleanse today. It feels like a great accomplishment, and at the same time just the first step. I've been trying to let go of the idea that my body is something to be feared and to be more holistic in my approach to my body. By that I mean that my self is made up of both body and mind, and I'm working towards recognising that and living as though that were true.

bad poetry of sadness
Some days I cry easy and some days it's all I do,
but then there are dry weeks and months
all the sadness burns my throat, a desert
of tears.
Some weeks I drown
Some weeks I perish
Some weeks I am joyful.

In which I am distracted, or, writing a paper is like praying, kinda. Maybe I should just dance.
Dancing is most like praying, right?
Unless it is urgent, I get distracted. Even sometimes when it is.

on disconnecting
I feel the loss
of facebook less
than twitter
I want the quick and easy
expressivity.
Especially when attempting
to express grand
philosophical
ideas in a tiny format.

Palm Sunday Reflections
There is something so lovely about light
something unphotographable
so unwordable
something about the Word
made flesh
made light
and life
I will mark ash
I will wave palms
I will rejoice
that he is triumphant
that he is risen
that he will come
again
and I remember
whenever the light is lovely.
