Upon hearing Mary’s greeting, her kinswoman Elizabeth felt her baby leap inside her. The pregnant Mary responds by uttering a prayer of thanks to God for his promises, especially to the poor. In time both those babies will be killed because of the threat imbedded in that prayer.

One year later. Snow warnings.
The master woke from troubled dreams. In one of them it seemed that everything he took to be “reality” had actually transpired within a crystal snow globe. Disturbing as this was to consider, It would explain many things. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

One year ago. All he needed was a device that would make people indifferent to lies.
In an anonymous gift box the master found a device that promised to detect lies. Given that such a device would render ordinary life impossible, he wondered at the evil genius who invented such a thing, and why anyone would consider it a suitable gift. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Dorothy Sayers, who died Dec 17 1957, is best known as the author of popular detective novels. But she was an ardent Anglican and lay theologian. I love this passage on Jesus’ relations with women.

Moved after bell hooks’ death to read again her beautiful foreword to the @OrbisBooks edition of “The Raft is not the Shore” (Thich Nhat Hahn and Daniel Berrigan). It speaks to her generosity and noble soul.

One year ago. By that time it had become difficult to distinguish treachery from life with father.
One of the master’s “children” was actually his agent, planted in the family and raised since birth to detect and thwart treachery toward the estate. Unfortunately, over the years, he had forgotten which one, and now didn’t know how to call off the mission. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

I think there aren’t many medieval Christian mystics who I would actually like to have over for dinner.
