Lenten Prayer Practice – Day Eleven 150 150 Nicole

University College Cork Today’s reading and that it is my father’s birthday calls to mind heritage, legacy, and adoption. In the Iroquois tradition a peace feather represents the family who, in turn, adopts another as family. These beautiful women pictured here have come from different places and live together in a foreign land – and…

Love, the High Road of Justice
Love, the High Road of Justice 150 150 Nicole

Standing Still – Advent Peace 150 150 Nicole

Peace occurs when time and space are suspended. I do not mean an escape from reality. Rather, peace comes when what looks and feels like reality—the unrelenting rush of time transporting me, helpless to obey—is revealed for what it is: an illusion. The thunder in the wind that rushes past as I wonder at the…

Peace and the Amplituhedron
Peace and the Amplituhedron 150 150 Nicole

After our first Sunday of Advent conversation, Lysander and I continued to wonder at the implications of God’s creative intention in the beginning: What if we have always had the ability to do magic, but God hid the knowledge of it from us because God knew we would not use it with an understanding of…
