Prayers from an (Im)Perfect Soul
The Thinnest Season
Here in the potato bed,the soil is colder than the air and damp as held breath.I dig, and the ground remembers:worm twisting,a weathered button,my daughter’s lost toy...the past risingin clumps of soil. Roots outlast what’s left above.Cut-back things keep reaching.I turn the soil; winter presses in.There’s work to finishbefore the earth locks itself in frost.Hope begins like t...

Prayers from an (Im)Perfect Soul
From Monstress to Ministry
This month’s work asked for a different kind of attention. For November, I carried three texts with me—Hebrews, Cole Arthur Riley’s This Here Flesh, and John O’Donohue’s Beauty: The Invisible Embrace. They became companions rather than assignments, each shaping how I thought about power, servanthood, and the work of my hands as I moved through the days.November needed room to take root. Hebrews opened new paths each time I returned to it, while This Here Flesh asked for a depth of attention that refused to be hurried. O’Donohue’s language of beauty as r...

You Just Had to Be There
You know those moments. The ones where you laugh so hard you cry. The ones where the air in the room shifts. The ones where you almost pull out your phone to film it.And thank God you don’t.This month, I learned that the holiest work, the truest connections, can’t be documented. You just had to be there.October was supposed to be a month of reading and reflection. Instead, it became a month of doing. The Creative Pilgrimage—my yearlong practice of exploring faith through art, teaching, and service—kept pul...

Love Practiced in the Ruins
I’m still writing the October essay—the month ran right over me. I’ve been living the material in a tumult: teaching, printing, marching, burning out, and starting again. Early in the month I built a collapsible poster-making cart for the No Kings Day protest and, instead of taking it to the larger protest, I wheeled it to the end of my driveway. What began as a quiet gesture turned into long, surprising conversations with neighbors as we made signs together—people who shared their worries and hopes in the cool October air.I kept trying to finis...

Witness as a Base Unit of God's Love
When I was teaching full-time, over the years I had hundreds of students come for office hours just to off-gas about the mess they were wading through. After early missteps, I learned that as a low-power representative of an institution, my real job wasn’t to fix anything. It was to witness—to give full attention—to walk beside that fellow soul and acknowledge their pain.There were students getting kicked out of their homes for being gay, students trying to finish degrees while holding down multiple jobs, students in the throes of depression. There were, of course...

Pilgrimage, Poetry, and the Stump
In this season of my Creative Pilgrimage, I have journeyed with three guiding voices: the ancient poetry of Isaiah, Annie Dillard’s sharp meditations in Pilgrim at Tinker’s Creek, and Mary Oliver’s prayerful verse in Devotions. Each writer has shaped how I see my place and survival in a world filled with dread, renewal, and glimpses of the Divine.Isaiah’s writing commands with the authority of vision and prophecy, inviting awe at creation—a rhythm that binds community and Creator through urgent lyric and sacred metaphor. Isaiah declares,“The mountains and hills shall break forth into s...
