Another photo from my favorite photographer and friend, niika, who inspires me to keep my camera ready and loaded in case I ever get out of this room/house again.
November in my soul has also been inspiring with his wordless, but strong reentry into blogdom through photography.
If you look carefully, you may notice my "Winter Reading" changes every few days....I am reading, but not able to write much right now...which begs the question of the sanity of the decision to register for the writing workshop at "The Glen" again this year?
Again, much is riding on another new medication; not so much "if" it will work (it has a long,track record of success) but rather "if you can survive taking it" it will work.
Why is so much of so-called "modern medicine, more akin to Medieval Trial by Ordeal?
Obviously, my reading has been, a bit too heavily weighted in soteriology.
Funny/ ironic-I have read more Luther since becoming Orthodox than I ever read in all my years as a Lutheran.
A New Blog added to my list of Orthodox writers worth reading; EARL DONALD THE BEWILDERED, authored a someone I first encountered in the com boxes at THE OCHLOPHOBIST and other top notch Orthodox blogs. His prose are thick with metaphors and poetic, but his thinking and ideas are refreshing transparent. Check it out. His name is Maxim (makes me think of "Last night I dreamed I went to Manderley again...The first line from one of my favorite books—Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca),
...Probably because both, Ken Follett's " The Key to Rebecca" and Michael Ondaatje's 'The English Patient', have passed through my Winter Reading list. Until recently, I never knew that Count Laszlo Almasy, the English Patient, was based on a real life historic character.
