I guess they don’t want me back
Resignation
Mary Musings
I played her once Mary In a spectacular fantasmagorical That was Quite unlike her life (ok nothing like her life) She had No voice (no surprise there it was the 80’s afterall and we preferred our Mary silent then) Simply embodied She embodied And I wondered what It would have been like To be her Bringing so much light Into so much darkness

Where I’ve been
Heyho. I hope you’ve been well. I’ve been preoccupied with some editing projects — one personal – a book of prose I’m working on and two for others and also this (I had an opportunity to preach and that was super fun — minute 43 if you want just the message). Getting back at it now. Musing about where to take my work and re-designing my blog page (I need courage for that kind of work– how ’bout you!).
Peace and grace to you on your way today.
Warmly, Colleen
