I sat in lamp-lit darkness on the steps of Monastery Immaculate Conception last month ready to watch the sunrise. The scented steam of orange-cinnamon tea rose from my red mug. What a perfect moment--until the hardness of the cement stair forced me to stand. Still, I continued to sip my...

As a kid, my mom cautioned me not to wander into the woods alone. Unfortunately, I wasn’t always known to be the most obedient child. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided a fun romp in the woods was just what I needed. We lived at the foothills of White Oak Mountain, and the forest...

I cried myself through church recently. Actually I cried myself through the sermon as I was so unsettled I couldn’t sit still another minute and so lit out before communion. The reasons I was crying don’t matter, really, and I’m not even sure I can put them into words....
