Monks backing Collegium | I Am Your Singing Telegram

I Am Your Singing Telegram. Sunshine through adversity →. March 27, 2009 · 8:23 pm. Two weeks ago, Collegium sang at the St. Louis Abbey in Creve Coeur, Missouri. This was my first real-life experience with Monks. Not exactly how I’d pictured them– wearing the brown robes with the little rope tied about the waist; instead, this order wears long black robes. In my life, I have sung countless Requiems, Masses, Te Deums, Magnificats, and the like. The smaller portions of daily matins are songs I’m...I think...

I Am Your Singing Telegram. Recalibrating faith →. November 7, 2009 · 7:48 am. Same as yesterday, tomorrow, always. A few days ago, Mom asked me what I was going to do with myself when all this cancer crap is behind us. I really don’t know. I’ve taken jobs that I’m grossly overqualified for– simply to make me feel as though I’m serving a purpose, but I find no satisfaction in doing something for the sake of doing something. On top of that, I have ANOTHER home,. She doesn’t ask my brother to help un...

I Am Your Singing Telegram. Are we ever really “cancer free”? Not a chance. →. February 18, 2010 · 12:23 am. What were you saying again? As my dad got older, his hearing loss became more and more evident. At home, they would listen to the television at a volume that made my ears rumble. Anytime you needed to communicate with him, he’d grunt, struggle to grab the remote, hit mute and say, “Whaaaaaat? 8221; I don’t think she even realizes that it’s always part of the conversation. Not a chance. →. Notify m...

Palestrina and paychecks | I Am Your Singing Telegram

I Am Your Singing Telegram. Same as yesterday, tomorrow, always →. April 28, 2009 · 2:22 am. I want to hike the Appalachian Trail. When I told Kevin this, his response was not exactly what I expected. He smiled and said, “Have fun.”. Then he chimed in, and decided that certainly, if we ever had that kind of time off and the money (5 months or roughly 5 million steps and several thousand dollars for supplies, plane tickets, and a take-along-bear-resistant nanny for Jake) he’d totally do it. Because I have...

I Am Your Singing Telegram. Palestrina and paychecks →. April 3, 2009 · 8:00 pm. The pointy, snot-nosed teacher here at school that made me feel so awful when I first got here has redeemed herself. I wouldn’t say we’re friends, because our communication is limited to extreme brevity. But I actually like her. We have a lot in common. Who knew. Her response: She averts her eyes and fixes them on the ceiling. EVERY TIME. I’m starting to think that perhaps she has a problem with nice people. How are ya today?

Are we ever really “cancer free”? Not a chance. | I Am Your Singing Telegram

I Am Your Singing Telegram. What were you saying again? July 22, 2011 · 1:57 am. Are we ever really “cancer free”? Freelance writing used to be something I thought I’d enjoy, until I started keeping an online “documentary” about my mom’s health. What I didn’t include was how cancer pushed us into limbo for nearly three years. Next on the agenda, (when this insufferable heatwave moves on) will be riding a bike without the training wheels. Here’s to making a left turn in the yellow wood. Notify me of new c...

I Am Your Singing Telegram. Same as yesterday, tomorrow, always. What were you saying again? November 7, 2009 · 8:54 am. After Mom got sick in May, I took a long hiatus from writing, and plunged head-first into taking care of her. It was a very scary, dark time for our family– even more disruptive than when my dad suddenly passed away. Have you ever had a doctor tell you this? I watched, everyday, as doctors and nurses strategically mapped out each life-saving step. I became acutely aware that this dance...
