by

“Not one illusion is accorded faith, and not one spot of darkness still remains to hide the face of Christ from anyone.” (acim Text Chapter 31, paragraph 12, line 5) I knelt on the carpet in our upstairs hallway in the semi darkness, holding the little infrared flashlight I’d scored on Amazon along with the […]

Finding Our Way Home

by

“It’s just that it seems ironic, don’t you think, the way Morgan won’t walk away from our house and yard, while I would give anything to get away anywhere for even a few hours!” Above the cloth mask he wore to meet me in the embodied condition I think I’m in, my imaginary inner professor’s […]

Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?

For Halloween my daughter–sweet child of my own twisted heart—had sent me a creepy little clown doll I call Chuckles, programmed to deliver pithy little […]
