amma talk - the little way: November 2013

http://kyammatalk.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Amma talk - the little way. Frail dust - remember you are splendor. Sunday, November 3, 2013. Working in the Dark. It is surely men who design hotel rooms. Or young women. One thing a hotel room, even a five star, does not often have is a magnifying makeup mirror. Now some of you might think this to be trivial, but I find it quite essential. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A woman with a sense of the absurd, a love of life, and a desire to be a friend of God. A woman without a sureness of everything exce...

amma talk - the little way: May 2013

http://kyammatalk.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Amma talk - the little way. Frail dust - remember you are splendor. Wednesday, May 22, 2013. I know what you tell me to know. To be a received knower is to carefully scan the room and detect the opinion that is acceptable, and then take on that opinion. A woman who has had her tender ventures at self expression crushed like a fly under a swatter may have learned that opinions are not safe. And she is not safe when she has them. Monday, May 20, 2013. Is a move away from love. Love brings freedom. Cont...

amma talk - the little way: July 2013

Amma talk - the little way. Frail dust - remember you are splendor. Wednesday, July 31, 2013. What the Pope said about women. From the Washington Post, "on Religion". While everyone was freaking out yesterday about the pope’s actually un-novel and uninteresting re-assertion of longstanding church teaching that homosexuals should not be marginalized, they missed what he said about women, which was in fact, totally fresh. Specifically, he said:. Tuesday, July 30, 2013. Ever feel like "you" are missing?

amma talk - the little way: This is marriage

http://kyammatalk.blogspot.com/2013/08/this-is-marriage.html

Amma talk - the little way. Frail dust - remember you are splendor. Friday, August 9, 2013. In our culture marriage is a fantasy of romance and bliss. In the Christian subculture we make it even more unreachable . Soul mates, perfect union of agape love and all. I think the mark of the BEST possible marriage is kindness. That is the summary of almost 40 years of monogamy. The other day I was standing in the kitchen with my right foot against my left calf and my hands above my head, working on concentrate...

Amma talk - the little way. Frail dust - remember you are splendor. Sunday, November 3, 2013. Working in the Dark. It is surely men who design hotel rooms. Or young women. One thing a hotel room, even a five star, does not often have is a magnifying makeup mirror. Now some of you might think this to be trivial, but I find it quite essential. The inevitable raggednes of our humanity - ah, that is profound. Yes, we are ragged and yes our imperfection is inevitable. But so often, others look polishe...The i...

To be a received knower is to carefully scan the room and detect the opinion that is acceptable, and then take on that opinion. A woman who has had her tender ventures at self expression crushed like a fly under a swatter may have learned that opinions are not safe. And she is not safe when she has them. I love that, Marilyn! And sometimes amazing things happen in spite of me!

amma talk - the little way: February 2012

http://kyammatalk.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Amma talk - the little way. Frail dust - remember you are splendor. Tuesday, February 21, 2012. I have only recently realized that my mother must have never felt safe. She had the immigrant soul - a soul that knew how closely peril walked. She passed that immigrant soul onto me. I always told my daughter, 'we are peasant women.' She has forbade me to use that term, but now I know the truth - I am a peasant soul. Thursday, February 9, 2012. What I heard today. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What I heard today.

amma talk - the little way: Mother's Day

http://kyammatalk.blogspot.com/2013/05/mothers-day.html

Amma talk - the little way. Frail dust - remember you are splendor. Sunday, May 12, 2013. The sun was shining when I first realized how much my head hurt this morning. Yesterday had been too much on top of a week that was too much and I finally took half a sleeping pill when at one o'clock in the morning I was still wide awake, but then of course, slept too hard. But the sun was shining and it is Mother's Day. So it was that I came to Mother's Day. I tried to watch TV but inside I was still restless so I...

Amma talk - the little way. Frail dust - remember you are splendor. Monday, May 14, 2012. My son in law told me a story that comes out of the Red Light Project he and his church are developing in Raleigh NC. I asked him to write it out for me. What do you think? I gave him the promotional pieces and we talked a bit about his display walls that we may be borrowing for the event. And he has this wonderful grandfatherly quality about him. Every word he says smiles. Because of beauty and creativity! Because ...

Amma talk - the little way. Frail dust - remember you are splendor. Saturday, June 30, 2012. The First Presbyterian church of Charleston is magnificent. Stained glass, curved, hard wax polished pews, magnificent organ. The wedding coordinator for the church stood before us in a lumpy cotton skirt - but it was 102 degrees out and we all arrived dripping wet. Declaring the church rules she said, ". And NO alcohol AT ALL in the church! I AM NOT jOKING! Friday, June 1, 2012. As I was leaving the hotel I stop...
