Ascension (vespers)

Oh who shall sing the song 

that I have loved since the days of my youth--

the song of the Lord’s Ascension into heaven, 

of His love for us, 

of the vigil He keeps for our coming? 

~ St Silouan the Athonite 

my life in pictures plus some thoughts

Pictures from yesterday and this morning 🌸🥰

It's hard to find balance in life, is part of what I am seeing.  I need to figure out how to get exercise and do everything I need to do.  Plus rest when I need it.

So I finished Volume 1 of The Unselected Journals of Emma M Lion.  It's fabulous.   Volume 2 I have begun and find it so deliciously funny at times.  It's such a blessing to have books that give rest and enjoyment.

I am also back to reading more academic Orthodox theology. 🧐😳😂 And it's really good but also a workout intellectually speaking and creates lists upon lists of questions.

May God have mercy on us 🙏🕯️

I am feeling more myself again. 

Wobbly sometimes but every one struggles in this life.

May God have mercy on us 🙏
