Biblical Revelation



My mom shared with me this wonderful interview of Marilynne Robinson by Ezra Klein. In a conversation sparked by her reading and interpretation of Genesis, they discuss beauty, attentiveness, mercy, humanity, God's restraint and the divine challenge of the present moment.

Earth Quakes



your birth 

was a seismic event

a tectonic shift

slippage, upwelling, subduction

thrown material

ground giving way

and lava 

breaking open, cleansing, suturing

old scars 

and abiding wounds

welcoming me

into a landscape reordered

In The Stars

 

I have been listening to this song on repeat so when Rachel recommended a magician astrologer, I saw a magician astrologer.


It was magic.

Krassy likens astrology charts to a sheet of music, which is given expression as we live our lives. So cool that she can read the music. So cool that we are each so specific to the universe.

Music In The Family Tree

 


During the Roaring Twenties, my great grandfather conducted for the Commodore, an iconic hotel connected to Grand Central Station in New York City. His orchestra played the largest ballroom in the country at the time.


From notes attached to a 1928 record, we learn that he was a Russian violinist who first led an orchestra in 1918 at the age of twenty eight.


Ben came out of the womb tuned to music, so it's fun for me to think about these roots as he takes his first music lessons. Ben also chose the violin.
