it's time to breathe...

PB294519.JPG    yesterday was the last day of the fall quarter for me.  one more quarter down, and two remaining until i leap into life after graduate school.  or, as a young adult, just life after school.   with this space to breathe, i have more time to blog.  but today is a rest day for me.  my mind is over-full, and i must decompress, unpack, contemplate.
    it's advent and it might be worth passing along some info to other weary students who find themselves stressed-out, hurried, axnious or otherwise tired of school or this consumer-driven society.

here's my (short) list of places and/or means to contemplate and let the season of advent enfold you:

  • the advent conspiracy.  a movement of christians who commit to these tenets: worship more. spend less. give more. love all.  need i say more?
  • urban hymnal: the longest night of the year.  come to st. mark's cathedral on capitol hill. friday december 14th at 8pm.  music. prayer. art. silence.  sponsored by church of the apostles and st. mark's cathedral.
  • of course, a number of local churches.  two that i am involved with:  church of the apostles and church of the beloved.  the picture above is from beloved's advent 1 service.  check websites for meeting times and places.  both churches have podcasts to download (not necessarily on advent, thought).

more blog posts as i find the space to write...
