Lieu de Naissance: Five days, nature-ally. (4/5)
http://jesfffskah.blogspot.com/2015/05/five-days-nature-ally-45.html
Thursday, 21 May 2015. Five days, nature-ally. (4/5). It wasn't planned but it seems the gaps between my publish dates in this series increase as exponents of base 2. It's been two-cubed days since I last posted. :). Is it objectively grounded or is this our conditioned response, an engrained cultural association? How often do we use "blue skies" as a metaphor for things looking "up" or being calm, favourable, right, optimistic, clear, hopeful, good? I see trees of green, red roses, too,. It, hoping even...

Lieu de Naissance: Five days, nature-ally. (3/5)

Wednesday, 13 May 2015. Five days, nature-ally. (3/5). I seem to never be able to get over flowers. I think they're beautiful without cause- but I mean that in a worshipful way! Yes, I understand about bright colors of flowers attracting insects that pollinate and all that but God could have made them attractive to insects but not to us. (Don't even get me started on the wonders of pollination.). This photo might be working against the point I want to make but I thought it was worth sharing anyways. ...

Lieu de Naissance: June 2015
http://jesfffskah.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 14 June 2015. I dont belong here. In the last twenty minutes I'm sure I've prayed about a dozen times, "Let me be safe." Walking two blocks along Dundas between Yonge and Elizabeth (downtown Toronto) at 10pm on a Saturday as a young, solo woman (with bags that make me look a tourist), I was more hyper-vigilant than normal. I don't know who's sizing me up, I don't know who's nefarious. I don't know anything. Morality), the palpable amount of dispensable income and the right to plentiful expensive ...

Lieu de Naissance: This.
http://jesfffskah.blogspot.com/2015/07/this.html
Friday, 17 July 2015. Something that I seem to have missed every other time I read Genesis. Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian slave named Hagar; so she said to Abram, "The LORD has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.". Your slave is in your hands," Abram said. "Do with her whatever you think best." Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her. I'm running away from my mistress Sarai," she answered.

Lieu de Naissance: August 2015
http://jesfffskah.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 25 August 2015. Legal movement without dribbling. Partly, it feels like I've been lassoed mid-torso and my arms are pinned to my sides. Besides restricting movement above my elbows, it is humiliating because I am not an animal. Partly, it feels like there's a thick, dark sac over my head and I can't see or breathe very well. It is a parched throat that chokes speech into crackles of nonsense. There is a thick, slimy swamp that comes up above my hips that is. It's like a gagged mouth. It is a ter...

Lieu de Naissance: Adventures in house cleaning and Deuteronomy.
http://jesfffskah.blogspot.com/2015/08/adventures-in-house-cleaning-and.html
Monday, 3 August 2015. Adventures in house cleaning and Deuteronomy. Funny thing that happened was that the more I cleaned, the more I wanted to clean. That is, the more I cleaned one thing/room/area, the more I noticed the comparative uncleanness of the adjacent thing/room/area. It was an eerily powerful motivator. And it wasn't even as if I thought, "I should really do that, too," it was a deeper pull of obligation to apply the new standard uniformly. We are so gross. We are so gross,. We are so gross,.

Lieu de Naissance: Chicago Mix Popcorn
http://jesfffskah.blogspot.com/2015/06/chicago-mix-popcorn.html
Monday, 1 June 2015. On Saturday morning, I was trying to come alongside / cheer / encourage / bear up with a sister in Christ as she described recent events in a tough relationship. I had no premeditated intention to show. And I know it. (We all do! I sat down to pick up my daily reading in Isaiah, thinking honestly that this would be a session which built discipline (and some familiarity) but that's it. I didn't expect what I read just then to be somehow the perfect thing to read at that time. For prie...

Lieu de Naissance: Seriously: what do you want from me?
http://jesfffskah.blogspot.com/2015/07/seriously-what-do-you-want-from-me.html
Saturday, 11 July 2015. Seriously: what do you want from me? Have I read enough pages today? Have I read enough as a literate, competent adult to not be accused of squandering my gifts? Do you want me to read the Bible now? How long do I read it for? How many pages or how many minutes or how many chapters until I feel myself slide off the hook? You can do the rest of your day. Now. How much can I. What do you (You) want from me? Should I have gone home? Can I stay out? What should I do? Why are my days s...

http://jesfffskah.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 26 May 2015. Five days, nature-ally. (5/5). Enough to have that automatic reaction.) Now, the piece was not very good at all but I guess even my young teenage (non-Christian) self wanted to try to. Some of the beauty I was witnessing. Now this shot has something about it of the "breaking through" or "dawning" or "impending" or "cloaked" power that I find mesmerising. And I think non-Christians do, too. Part of one of David's songs:. He parted the heavens and came down;. But, my favourite is prob...
