Travelled to the place I was born over the weekend. What a time to visit apple country! I’ll skip the new moon garden vid, but I might upload a short travel journal before the full moon!

I’m getting ready to post another garden video! I’ll give a quick tour of where things are at, and then finally harvest the garlic! This image was created by a friend of mine using a screenshot from a livestream where I froze lol. You’ll see the real poppy in the upcoming video! 🌸

Hey everybody,

I don't think I've written a poem since high school, but my friend Chris encouraged me, and look what happened! I hope it's not as angst-ridden as it was back then!

Divine Eigenstates
by Mac


On the horizon of perception and reason there is a place

Gooey black space, thick with promise of significance

It compels me -
repulses me -
with rules, and impossible fees

I am not allowed there. Not before I suffer.

Here, with you, I can only see with
Old, tired eyes, that every day
Things burst with meaning

Not just some things

Have you ever looked
at pond water under a microscope?

God, with his cedar perfumed hand
firmly on the rudder of existence

Crafts light in darkness
And charges with holiness every whip
Of every cilia, every pseudopodic rapture
Every Brownian motion

Vital, somehow, to the unfolding of creation

To the Etruscan Poets by Richard Wilbur

Dream fluently, still brothers, who when young
Took with your mother's milk the mother tongue,

In which pure matrix, joining world and mind,
You strove to leave some line of verse behind

Like still fresh tracks across a field of snow,
Not reckoning that all could melt and go.

Hi everybody! Today I finished reading the Letters of Paul, all except Hebrews. Paul is not identified as the author within the letter, but many scholars (and church tradition) credit him with authorship. It is important, certainly, as all scripture is, and it is famously difficult as well.
I'm not sure if I should start another cycle of reading, starting with Romans again (which I'm excited to do), or if I should power through Hebrews first.
I invite your opinions, and I promise to do whatever the Lord compels me to do. What else can I do?
Peace!
