Just Having Fun: On church and state. →
dearcoquette:
Why does the government think it is okay to force the church to go against their core belief (right wrong or indifferent)? Their core value of preserving life hasn’t changed and anyone who wants it can get FREE birth control at their local health department. The government…

I am a runner...again.
Okay.
So, I have to be honest: I haven’t run seriously since the Richmond Marathon, back in November. I mean, yes, I ran with TNT when I coached the Monument 10K, but that was close enough after Richmond that I didn’t really need to train; I just ran with them as my personal level of fitness declined. And declined.
Since I moved to Hampton (anyone who is out of the loop - I moved to...

How to make a pinch pot
Begin with a healthy handful of clay. In much the same manner as a drill instructor breaks down a recruit in order to build him back up, stronger and more deadly than ever, roll, smack, intimidate and shape your clay into an approximation of a sphere, releasing your own tension and aggression as you do. The smoother and more accurately round your beginning blob, the easier your pot will form, and...
Of boats and air
So I was gazing up at the mountain this morning when my attention was distracted by the clouds passing behind the massive peak. It was a breezy day, and my sweaty t-shirt was being plastered against my back by the stirring air, feeling in turns refreshing and stiflingly hot.
What had caught my attention was a shape in the clouds, a stylized, inverted T, which my imagination immediately...
This Longing

I am loving fresh smells, light flashes in the black window, love how you are here when you’re...
"Open your arms if you want an embrace!" -Rumi
I am rediscovering how to run alone.
In recent weeks, I had lost this ability. The unaccompanied pounding of my feet on the pavement, the thoughts occupying my brain, all the things I was running to escape would conspire against my forward motion, stealing my air and burning my muscles. Inevitably, these recent solo runs would end with me walking home, panting and irritated, having accomplished...
