pontifex eve

September 21, 2015 Posted in spirituality5 Comments

I’ll have more to say on this topic later this week, but I just wanted to share a bit about why I am thrilled to be greeting Pope Francis at Andrews Air Force Base tomorrow afternoon. In 2005, I was a young high school student on spring break with my family in San Diego. I… Continue reading pontifex eve

fifty small pleasures

April 30, 2015August 9, 2016 Posted in etc, poetry3 Comments

Do you need a little pick me up? Same. The sweet thud of a Bundt cake coming evenly out of its pan. Waking up from a good night of sleep and realizing that you had a good night of sleep. A new bud on a plant you thought was dead. Hearing a song for the… Continue reading fifty small pleasures

ode on a waterski pyramid

February 26, 2015March 26, 2015 Posted in etc2 Comments

Taking on some challenging practices for Lent has really cut into my blogging time, and Whole30 still has my brain in a bit of a fog. Or maybe it’s just that I forgot how to meal plan and thinking about eating more than take-out has been occupying some mental space for me. In any case,… Continue reading ode on a waterski pyramid

quiet days

With all that’s going on in the world, I am thankful to be snuggled in with a big, sweet dog and not scared or threatened tonight. I’m also glad that Ib is safe in DC, instead of on a reporting trip to Ferguson, MO, where two of his coworkers are not so lucky. Feels providential… Continue reading quiet days

the new city of brotherly love

July 6, 2014March 26, 2015 Posted in etc3 Comments

So after all my biznatching over United on Thursday, my favorite brother eventually did touch down in DC on the morning of the 4th. We had an absolutely delightful 4th of July weekend tooling around the city and laying low in the apartment. Literally laying: I kind of wanted to leave this air mattress set… Continue reading the new city of brotherly love

anti-clock

June 13, 2014March 26, 2015 Posted in etcLeave a comment

I didn’t bring my watch on vacation. “You think you are having a good time, but time is really the greatest obstacle in the world to happiness. Not only because it makes you take pleasure successively, but also you are never really happy until you are unconscious of the passing of time. The more you… Continue reading anti-clock

Spending the week on Captiva, a barrier island on the Gulf side of Florida, has been a treat. My grandma is along for the trip, and to be honest, her hearing loss is helping keep the peace. She’s been knocked out by allergies, though, and with intermittent storms also in play, this was the first… Continue reading captivating

Hi, I'm Brigid! I never forget a dog, listen to a million podcasts, and try to read too many books at the same time. Come hang out!
