Well I’m not surprised that I never made good on my promise to myself to post all my favorite photos of 2010 before the year ended. I also never posted all those photos from my parents’ lives in Africa. Oh well. Some day, I will. But for now, I am immersed in a new project: scanning all my old negatives from the second half of the first decade of the third millennium. I will soon share...

But it is never out of season to protest against that coarse familiarity with sacred things which is busy on the lip, and idle in the heart; or against the confounding of Christianity with any class of persons who, in the words of Swift, have just enough religion to make them hate, and not enough to make them love, one another.

The Two Travelers and the Farmer
A traveler came upon an old farmer hoeing in his field beside the road. Eager to rest his feet, the wanderer hailed the countryman, who seemed happy enough to straighten his back and talk for a moment.
“What sort of people live in the next town?” asked the stranger.
“What were the people like where you’ve come from?” replied the farmer, answering the question...

January 2010
I moved to a secluded little shack on Fickle Hill. A bad decision, for many reasons. But I don’t exactly regret it. It was a beautiful temporary dwelling place, despite the grave isolation. I got pretty good at making fires and was often comforted by the sight of deer grazing in my back yard.
I am going to make an honest attempt to upload all my favorite pictures from the year 2010, before the year 2010 ends… right here on this handy little tumblr. Starting… NOW!

tiny marvel... huge adventure →
I thought it would be best not to clutter this particular tumblr with all my boring and perhaps gross pregnancy-related experiences and musings. So I made a new one. I call it…. TINY MARVEL-huge adventure. Follow my weird unexpected but wholly welcomed journey into the daunting life-task of Motherhood. If you care. If you dare!

Happiness and Sadness Spread Just Like Disease →
There may be a literal truth underlying the common-sense intuition that happiness and sadness are contagious.
A new study on the spread of emotions through social networks shows that these feelings circulate in patterns analogous to what’s seen from epidemiological models of disease.
Earlier studies raised the possibility, but had not mapped social networks against actual disease...

Figs
The proper way to eat a fig, in society, Is to split it in four, holding it by the stump, And open it, so that it is a glittering, rosy, moist, honied, heavy-petalled four-petalled flower.
Then you throw away the skin Which is just like a four-sepalled calyx, After you have taken off the...
