I dip my bread in the wine and hold it over my hand while we pray. A drop descends into my palm and spreads through the valleys and mountains of the lines of my hands. Another falls and another. I am afraid; ashamed. My iniquity surrounds me, stains me. Your blood on my hands, it... Continue Reading →
Yesterday the world lost a beautiful piece of art and history. The burning of Notre Dame has affected many very deeply and today I wanted to share the thoughts its loss brought to both me and my good friend. The first piece is her's, the second mine, and the photos belong to another good friend... Continue Reading →
*sighs heavily* This movie makes me sad. Not because it was a sad story (which it was) but because I had such high hopes (like Mount Everest high) and they were all dashed to pieces. When I first saw the trailer for Cold War, I was floored. That trailer was, and still is, one of... Continue Reading →

And the color... Continue Reading →
We've gone and left our home. Our house of wooden boards and thatched roof and empty rooms. We've gone and left our home and my sisters have left us, each to their own path. But they went away long before today. Today, though, is goodbye. A farewell that may last forever. We are away to... Continue Reading →
Hello folks, lately, after a month long break or so from my Broadway playlist, I've dived back into the world of musical theater. (Much, very much, to the chagrin of my sister.)
