suitcase heart: May 2012
http://marissadanney.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 24, 2012. You know you're homesick when. You're planning a little overnight adventure somewhere that you've never been before. You start making a list of things that you'd like to experience. a small town, removed from where you currently are, nice restaurants, nature, live music, water. Suddenly you realize. you're describing your hometown of Nyack, NY. Oh dear. Ok, we're not talking about you, we're talking about me. And in the end, it was all A-OK. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

suitcase heart: June 2012
http://marissadanney.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 22, 2012. Christ in the Desert Monastery. This has been my first super busy weeks at Ghost Ranch. I was working with a youth group that came in, preparing their reflections and themes for the week, in addition to my normal chaplain worship responsibilities. It has been great! Perhaps it was because I was so tired that I was able to do this. Kind of like how they say being relaxed when you're in a car accident can save your life. Maybe? Brother Andre (from Connecticut originally) gave us a to...

Discovering America, one garage sale at a time…. In Trip Overview and Planning. August 10, 2011. So, I forgot my iphone charger/usb interface at James Gentry’s place in Seattle… so I can’t post many photos at the moment (of Oregon camping, beautiful Portland, Martha’s donkey named Bunny and the goats, kooky Seattle, and our new friends in Vancouver) but we’re sorting it out! Although, we have a few photos to share of where we are right now on Vancouver Island (courtesy of Maylee’s camera). Yes, he’...

suitcase heart: My Beloved is Abundant
http://marissadanney.blogspot.com/2014/03/my-beloved-is-abundant.html
Thursday, March 6, 2014. My Beloved is Abundant. What is the purpose? Lent can easily become the opportunity for self-righteous self-sacrifice. But I don’t think that we are meant to walk around with holy, downcast eyes, making clear that we have given up something wonderful because we are so much better than everyone else. That seems to be more problematic than helpful. It seems like it is really hard for us to tap into that reality. They savor using all of their senses:. The smell of a lush garden.

suitcase heart: The Pulse of God
http://marissadanney.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-pulse-of-god.html
Thursday, October 4, 2012. The Pulse of God. A portion of Rumi's poem, "Okay, I'll Do It.". How can you look so needy -. God is growing in fields you own. He hangs from trees you pass. Every day. He is disguised as. That peach and pine cone. Every sound I hear - He made it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This blog was originally created when I made the grand move from New York to California. During our goodbyes, a friend said as she hugged me, "You should start a blog.". The Pulse of God.

suitcase heart: December 2011
http://marissadanney.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 31, 2011. The year of 2011 has been one of a constant search for self-identity and groundedness. The author Gerald G. May writes in his book "The Awakened Heart" that our truest identity lies in our desire for love. So, isn't my search for identity really just a search for self-love? And if I love myself, then other people can love me too! And maybe the universe will have some love for me! But first I have to discover why I am love-able. Gerald May says, "The only way to own and claim ...

Tuesday, December 23, 2014. The Night Job - An Advent Reflection. Below is an Advent Devotion that I wrote for my alma mater's Daily Devotional. To read more, go to http:/ www.sfts.edu/alumni/2014 LnC signup.asp. In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. To you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.

suitcase heart: February 2013
http://marissadanney.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 10, 2013. In the past two weeks, two sudden deaths have occurred that have been both in my community, and affecting my community. And so the "death" question has come up again for me. When I first heard of each death that was the first question that popped up in my mind. And so I quickly asked others who might have more information. "Why? And yet, I found that my question wasn't satiated with information. As Joan Chittister says in her book There is a Season. If we live without a fear of...
