The other night I had a dream. I opened a letter and read it out loud on camera for this weeks show. What a nightmare.

Reflecting Light welcomes you to Holy Week and Passover with this newest podcast about how we turn away. Taken from a speech given my Lois Lowry, this episode looks at how we turn away from the sublime and heavenly because we are busy, sidetracked, or unable to bear the pain of living at higher and holier levels. Mandy demonstrates how the greatest examples of this are Jesus Christ and his beloved companion, Mary Magdalene. Join us for this thoughtful easter prelude.

My wife and I started an Advent neighborhood get together last year; soup, wine, bread, cheese, poetry, stories, hymns, and children bellowing. A eucharist of sorts, but more with an ancient turn to honoring both the light in the darkness, and the darkness itself. Due to Covid this will not be happening this year.

So I am attempting to put the spirit of what I experienced in that neighborhood Advent get together into a Contemplify Advent series. Something not churchy, but more in line with the wonder of seeing a coyote's hideout in my neighborhood park or the clang of Mystery's one hand clapping while the other hand tries not to spill the wine.

I’ve asked a few friends to stop by and offer a few words. In this first Advent outpost, I begin with a story and reflection, then I pass the mic to the poet Todd Davis who shares a poem from his book In the Kingdom of the Ditch. And contemplative teacher Beverly Lanzetta closes us out with a prayer titled “Canticle of Silence” from her forthcoming book A Feast of Prayers.
