People don’t like change
we’ve always done it this way
“sacred” theology
Category: Meet the Neighbors
Thinking on racism
Feeling shame and guilt
bearing witness to such pain
that humans inflict
How to disagree
We may not agree
but unite by covenant
respect, dignity
Sum total?
No one is the sum
of their best or worst action
humans are complex
Praying for prey
Watching from his perch
A red tail hawk assesses
where dinner might be
Unanticipated joy
A little red fox
trots along his trusty path
unexpected gift
Three Things Thursday
In Blogging 101 we were invited to find a community event and participate.
I chose three things Thursday from Nerd on the Brain’s blog http://nerdinthebrain.com/three-things-thursday/
In no particular order, in the past week three things that have made me happy, grateful, or inspired include:
A day to work at home. Hey, even if it is working, I actually do enjoy my work, but it is often not the kind of work I can do curled up on the couch with my dogs and cats. How great to work at home!
Meringues from Trader Joe’s! They have saved my calorie count this week.
Hearing from a friend and knowing that we will be getting together soon. NO picture, please imagine getting together with your own friends…
As the snow flies
Snowflakes gently fall
Flowing, drifting, gracefully
each one is unique
like folks who drift in and out
of each others daily life
Blog Roll
Today in Blogging 101 the assignment is to create a Blogroll. To the right of my posts there is already a list of blogs I follow. So, I thought I’d highlight a couple of them here.
Sharon’s blog caught my eye because of her quote form Paulo Coelho at the top. However she has lovely pictures on her blog, I love her categories, especially “Vintage and Ephemera.” It is kind of like a moment for contemplation and escape for me. https://sharonmcconnel.wordpress.com/
Only 100 words is an interesting concept and the stories offer me things to think about. Often a little surprise at the end, something to think about and a moment to read a story at only 100 words. What a nice gift to me when I need a break.I feel like I’ve accomplished something! Besides that I like the blog, although I haven’t met the person behind it, she offered suggestions to me that I appreciated when I first started blogging. It is sometimes a risk to reach out to others, and I’m grateful when someone does that for me.
Miss Understood writes Haiku. (Need I say more?!) Have to support other Haiku bloggers. Love the pictures that are matched to the Haiku. Nice blog to visit.

SO- I like the idea of sharing what I’m reading so I may keep doing this from time to time. Hope the links work and hope you enjoy visiting these blogs.
Meet more Neighbors
Our assignment in blogging 101 is to read blogs and post comments on four of them. This seems like traveling to me. I got to travel to far away places, read of adventures that others are taking, see pictures that are inspiring and read what others like to read and why. What a rich experience. It is heartening and inspiring to see what other bloggers are doing and what interests others. It is inspiring/moving to read and to feel a connection to others I don’t know. I’ve enjoyed searching out blogs and finding things that spark my interest, give me something to think about and consider what I might want to write about next. Thank you to all the bloggers who I’ve read today. I could share many more but I’ve winnowed the bunch down a bit, not quite four but…
