This afternoon, I am working on putting submissions for the Quaker Youth Book Project into order within the chapters and as I work, I’ve started thinking about what our editorial board is doing. For me, it seems that lately I’ve been concentrating so much on all the little things that need doing for the book […]

This morning I woke up very early to the sunlight just beginning to seep it’s way through the thick cloud cover. Figuring I was awake for good, I thought the early morning would afford a nice opportunity to write in the quiet dawn. I gathered up my quilt, put on a cup of tea, and

I had been sitting at a table writing in my journal when I became aware of a man and woman talking about six yards away.

A friend of mine and I were driving back tonight from a play in McMinville we had attended with others from the Pentacle Theatre. On our way home, he asked about my story and what has made me who I am today. I shared with him some of the process of transformation and healing that
