It seems that I am constantly hunting… For books in my bookshelf,Ways to play the piano better,Improving my singing technique,Tips about contemplation… Or something else. Sometimes I am picking up where I left off, starting something new then putting it down again, or seeking ways which will satisfy my longing for connection, love, and peace….

Don’t Hold Back
I was speaking with someone about the Catholic Church’s various responses to the Coronavirus pandemic in my country and city, insofar as some parishes are doing much better than others. The person said that it was as if some in the Church are holding their breaths. A few are actively reaching out, going to great…

What have you been noticing about life? I mean, really noticing now? Behind closed doors, working at home if we are fortunate to have a job, and not interacting with real in-the-flesh people, we have all (or will) become masters in musing. For introverts, the transition at this time may feel natural and not as…
Isolated, But Not Alone
