I hope all of you,
are well and healthy,
and,
looking forward to some pleasant,
holiday plans.
My calendar is all booked up,
lots,
of fun and joyous times,
coming up.
I still have a few days,
of survey monkeying,
before a few days off,
for Christmas.
I have almost finished,
my shopping and prep,
there will quiet days,
for movie watching,
and,
reading and being with mom,
and,
there will be friend and family time,
should be nice.
Funny,
I have been thinking about,
going to midnight mass,
with mom,
on Christmas eve.
I can hear my atheist friends both dead and alive, screaming:-)
Fact is, I like churches,
I like the peace and calm,
the iconography,
the ritual,
I always have,
it isn’t a regular thing with me,
I am not a religious person,
but,
as many things in my life,
in the world,
I am not sure,
so I have been,
most of my life,
an agnostic.
I respect peoples faith.
I don’t like religion,
I think,
everyday and throughout history,
we see and have seen examples,
of the horror and small mindedness,
religion brings to the world,
and yet…
some of the best and kindest people,
I know are people of faith,
many are also not.
I will not be going to,
midnight mass,
looking for God,
I will go to commune,
with my fellow humans,
with my ancestors,
going to listen to the holy music,
watch the ritual.
I have been taking pictures,
of the chapel attached to the old convent,
near work,
I have taken them in all seasons,
with my camera,
with my phone.
The site is beautiful,
peaceful,
an oasis in a busy,
street,
city,
day,
strangely enough,
the site,
grounds me,
and gives me wings,
it calms me,
and,
fires my imagination.
I thought you all might enjoy some,
pics from every season,
to every season turn, turn turn.
Be well.
Later girls,
BB
