Short Thoughts #3: Fashion(chr)ista

I think that fashion can be a grace of Christ. I know the difficulties with this. I believe it nonetheless. Fashion can be a invitation to wear something of our secret names right on the skin. Something crazy, something subtle. Holy curtains over holy bodies. 

Ah, this life!  A million ways to say a single name. A place to see and be seen.

       Evil fights hard against this delight (as it does all delights). We get seduced into wearing logos. We are shamed and give in to trends. We get scared to show skin and curve. 

We begin to think size matters. 

We stop being the odd beautiful amateur artists of the body that we know ourselves to be. 

        Or evil simply takes the clothes altogether. (Did you think the only tragedy was exposure to the elements?)

Like I said, I know the difficulties with this idea. 

However, here we are in a time when one exuberant outfit can wake up a world.

Short Thoughts #2: When You're Poor

When you're poor you have to live like

       you're rich one day at a time.

Someday, somewhere — anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life. -Pablo Neruda

Short Thoughts #1: Baptism

To me baptism is like a wedding ring.

It doesn't mean that much

until you need it to.
