In Praise of Delays
Yesterday, Tim and I completed a journey that should have taken an hour (to the Faribault Goodwill to drop off a donation) but ended up taking two days. How glad we were that it did, for we were in the right place at the right time for an unexpected and refreshing cloudburst and then for spotting a full rainbow over the Minnesota countryside. The frustration of unexplained closed doors (Faribault Goodwill on Wednesday) coupled with not one but two northbournd detours on our route home inspired us to plot an alternate route and, in doing so, we saw something we needed to see on a heat-addled, hectic day.
We will keep these principals in mind on Saturday, as we meander through Wisconsin for a few nights on the edge of the Apostle Islands archipelago.
Wishing you beautiful surprises on your own journey!

Newsflash! Issue #6 of PENSIVE Has Been Published and Includes My Poem, “Echoing Damocles”
Pensive, published twice a year by Center for Spirituality, Dialogue, and Service (CSDS) at Northeastern University in Boston, is currently accepting submissions for its fifth issue. The deadline is May 15, 2023. If you would like to read this issue, you maybe read it online or download a pdf. file at no charge.
There are dozens of wonderful poems here, as well as sublime fiction (including “The Dervish in a Red Skirt” by Fiyola Hoosen-Steele), and the visual art is amazing (I am especially taken with the cover image, a mixed media piece called “Exile II” by Silvina Mizrahi, and the painting, “Ghost Bison,” by Serge Lecomte.)
Pensive: A Global Journal of Spirituality & the Arts is a young publication with a strong and nourishing, cross-cultural point of view. I am so pleased that my own poem, “Echoing Damocles,” (page 154) was chosen to be in this company!
