Limbo
by Sister Mary Ada

The ancient greyness shifted
Suddenly and thinned
Like mist upon the moors
Before a wind.
An old, old prophet lifted
A shining face and said:
"He will be coming soon.
The Son of God is dead;
He died this afternoon."

A murmurous excitement stirred
All souls.
They wondered if they dreamed -
Save one old man who seemed

Geseah ic weruda god
þearle þenian. Þystro hæfdon
bewrigen mid wolcnum wealdendes hræw,
scirne sciman, sceadu forðeode,
wann under wolcnum. Weop eal gesceaft,
cwiðdon cyninges fyll. Crist wæs on rode.

I saw the God of hosts
harshly stretched out. Darknesses had
wound round with clouds the corpse of the Wielder,
bright radiance; a shadow went forth,
dark ( Read more... )

This Sunday I went to a yoga class at the gym. As I expected, I have lost a lot of flexibility and strength, but because of my experience in the W&M yoga club I have a good understanding of what to emphasize in the stretches and how to harmonize them with my body and mind.

In addition, because of my experiences with illness in the past year, I've ( Read more... )

I'm feeling much better than I did a few weeks ago because I quit my Rifampin, which was both causing side effects and aggravating the lyme into neurotoxic activity. I'll probably have to go back on it again, but I'll just take things a few days at a time. Once I quit work near the end of May I will have a more flexible schedule that can ( Read more... )

I'm going to be in Williamsburg from Friday night to Saturday evening with flamingophoenix and a couple of her friends. On Saturday we'll be going to Busch Gardens and maybe walking around Matoaka. I also plan to go to the Birkenstock store in CW and stop by the kendo tournament in Adair Gym briefly. I'll be staying with ragnarok42007. If you're in Williamsburg at the same ( Read more... )

I'm feeling much better. I quit taking my Rifampin, did some detoxing, and lay around the house a lot. By Saturday I was much improved, with only some fatigue and a headache. Thank you all so much for your encouragement and prayers. They mean a lot to me.

I'm kind of pissed at my doctor, though - I left him messages on his personal pager Friday at 8 ( Read more... )

I started having a slightly irregular heartbeat and getting shaky, so around 12:00 I decided I was useless and should leave work instead of crying into tissues. I waited around for about 20 minutes before leaving in order to stop feeling faint, and was ok to drive home after I got off the Metro and walked (very slowly) to my car. After getting home ( Read more... )

This morning I felt bad when I woke up. I should have felt much better than yesterday, since I did a lot of detoxing when I went home last night. But I felt just as bad ( Read more... )

Yesterday and today I've been fearful. Walking down the sidewalk yesterday, I thought, "What if a car hits me? There's insurance money in cases like that, but you're never the same again. What if I became a paraplegic and couldn't walk? And I couldn't get to the tops of mountains anymore, or have children? How would that change my life?" My heart ( Read more... )

Sitting on my bed this morning, I looked over at my new drafting table and supplies bought for school this summer, and my fingers were just itching to try it out. The thought popped into my mind, "I should start a webcomic!"

This isn't the first time I've had that impulse. I read about twenty-five webcomics regularly, and some of them have been a ( Read more... )
