On the road

The week ahead is one I've been excited to arrive for months. My husband and I are heading to Princeton Seminary where he is attending and I will be faculty for the YMI Spring Forum. I'll be facilitating a workshop on Art and Pray and how to integrate arts into church life, mission and worship. It's as if a week of my most favorite things were dropped into 5 days!
On a sad note, my dear friend a mission partner Jeanne Thomas passed away this Saturday. She was one of the first people to support me in my starting adventures to Princeton three years ago. As I hit the road I carry memories and joy as well as hope, because That is the way Jeanne would have wanted me to travel.
Shalom,
T

St. Brigid Blessings on the Threshold

In preparation for St. Brigid’s day, I consider the blessings that are with us on the threshold.  What are the blessings, neither at the beginning or end, but in the middle.  In transitional spaces that take up most of our days? I think that the threshold can be a space of healing. An opportunity to see things in a new way. A river that takes us to new places of grace. May you feel the presence of love in your thresholds. May it flow from all our beginnings through to each end. May the space of threshold be a balm like lavender, healing our battle wounds. May we find healing in the inbetween. Healing lives on the threshold. #blessings #stbrigid #taralamontart
