All Creatures Great & Small
When I was little, our house was full of animals – dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs – there were so many! My dog slept under the covers with me. There was always a cat near my finger tips. The guinea pig and I had great conversations. I can’t say I cared that much about the…

Homemade with Love
My mom is an amazing cook and baker. I have memories of experiments we sampled for her cookbook and making Christmas cookies together. But one of the things our entire family clings to is birthday icebox cake. When Nabisco stopped making the chocolate wafers this past year, I had to improvise and bake my own,…

Ache for Home
Home can mean so many things. I met with a group of people on Thursday who embody home – not the one they were born into, but the one they have created. And they welcomed me, a stranger, into their midst. They were authentic and enjoyed good “dad” jokes (although I certainly wouldn’t have told…

Reimagining a Ruptured Faith
When I was little, I was taught by the church that our beliefs led to the only true faith. Other people may have believed differently, but how I lived as a Christian was the only way to get to God. I never really got that. I mean Jesus was a Jew and Islam grew out…

Hope in the midst of despair
The pandemic did a lot of things to us. It caused isolation, depression, anxiety. But it also created space to do things differently. In the midst of missing visiting my parents and longing to be out in the world, the despair became palpable and I had to do something to change the isolation into moments…

Bagel Bite: The Island of Misfit Toys
I loved the Rudolph movie as a child. And I particularly like the Island of Misfit Toys. Rudolph ends up in this space with a whole bunch of toys that feel like they don’t fit in. The burden on their spirit is astounding. They all wish for something to be that cannot be because others…
