Inexplicable Ways

Humbly building the universe

  • Song of the Builders

    On a summer morning
    I sat down
    on a hillside
    to think about God--
    a worthy pastime
    Near me, I saw
    a single cricket;
    it was moving the grains of the hillside
    this way and that way
    How great was its energy
    how humble its effort
    Let us hope
    it will always be like this
    each of us going on
    in our inexplicable ways
    building the universe.

Welcome.  Things have changed a bit. 

Feel free to scrounge about, leave comments, disagree with me (I know you’ll find something!), or point me to sites and sources you love. 

My village is spread about the globe and while my neighbors may not be able to join me on my hillside for tomato-picking or salsa-making, we can peek into each other’s lives in this limited fashion.  It is a secondary substitute but it is something.   

On this site you’ll find soapboxes, snippets from my favorite poems, snapshots of life with a toddler, a smidgen of social justice stories and birth activism, and assorted scraps of my life.  If you’re lucky, you’ll catch glimpses of my delicious husband, beautiful friends, and amazing family. 

And I hope you’ll spot the Grace that holds it all together.
