a poem

I have been trying to get more poetry in my life. I subscribe to NPR's "writer's almanac". It's a good way to get into the days.

Brown Penny

by William Butler Yeats

I whispered, 'I am too young,'

And then, 'I am old enough';

Wherefore I threw a penny

To find out if I might love.

'Go and love, go and love, young man,

If the lady be young and fair.'

Ay, penny, brown penny, brown penny,

I am looped in the loops of her hair.

O love is the crooked thing,

There is nobody wise enough

To find out all that is in it,

For he would be thinking of love

Till the stars had run away

And the shadows eaten the moon.

Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,

One cannot begin it too soon.

Catholic Class. part Deux.

We went to your second class last week. I have to say, I am loving this process. The Catholic church intends for this to be a time of learning and discernment. You want to be a part of this Church. Well, you need to time to wade in its waters. I love that.

So, this week we started, literally, at the beginning. Who is God. How do we know God? How has he revealed Himself?

We talked about creation and beauty. We talked about the Bible. We talked about Covenants.

Pretty much basic, orthodox, Christian faith.

It's good to be here. and wade in these waters.

fall!

we are enjoying these Fall days, after one HOT summer. hope you are, too.

I had a ROUGH week last week in the mommy department. Sunshine has been my therapy. Here's to a better week!
