One of the monastics of the early desert tradition. I first came across Abba Moses in a work of Thomas Merton. Sr. Benedicta shares a similar story, but with a leaky water container. A brother in Scete happened to commit a fault, and the elders assembled, and sent for Abbot Moses to join them. He, […]

Many prayer concerns today running from family estrangement to finding a place to live to surgery to health concerns to the passing of loved ones to climate crisis. I’m thankful for our connections to help share the burdens and for the reminders that we are not alone, but deeply loved and cherished and dwell in […]

You know that time you use the last of your sister’s Advent gift (thanks @tangledmeeple) to make some coffee, only to afterwards realize that the crew doing some electrical work made a pot full in the Fellowship Hall. 🙄 🤣 . . . #Coffee #CoffePrepSketch #StillLife #SketchWhatYouDo #SketchWhatYouSee #SketchForToday #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk #InkAndWash #InkAndWatercolor #FountainPen […]

I knew the day would probably come that @traderjoes would pull another favorite food item. The day came.

I’ve been burning a lot of candles during this pandemic. (Or at least this one a lot). It’s a way of prayer, of reminding myself to look for – to see – the Light.

It’s time to take the Advent Calendar off the wall, turn the triangles over, and pack it up for next year. It is always more exciting to get it out than it is to put it away.

As I’m still experimenting with drawing snow scenes and I’m still experimenting with Concepts, why not do both at once? We’ve gotten a bunch of snow over the last week.

Merry Christmas. Back to analog. 😆 My cousins (with help from my Aunt) made this Santa stocking for me when I was a toddler. One of the snowflakes has fallen off. But still going strong. Santa even put something in it this year. Hope you got something, too. 😉 . . . #MerryChristmas #Stocking #Santa […]
