Cute meme - middle name

-
Jan tagged me for this cute (and possibly very difficult) meme. Here are the rules:

1. You have to post the rules before you give your answers.

2. You must list one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. (If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden name or your mother's maiden name).

3. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged.)

E is for...eclectic (I'm stealing from Jan). I'm an eclectic counselor, using narrative, existential, some cognitive.

L is for...lively. I'm lively in the sense that I value Life (with a capital "L") and don't want to waste my life.

I is for...intuitive. Very. As in 'off the charts.'

Z is for...zealous is the only 'z' word I can think of. Am I zealous? Perhaps -- for justice.

A is for...actress. Well, I'm exaggerating big-time, but I did play my first part this morning in a skit in my church. I've joined our drama group.

B is for...backache. It seems to be getting worse. Ugh.

E is for..I'd say excruciating, for the headache that just eased up enough for me to blog, but coming just after backache that would make me sound like an old falling-apart lady, so instead I'll say....hmmm. I can't think of anything! ... Oh, I know. Editor. I love to edit.

T is for...travel. It's a big, beautiful world!

H is for...heaven. I felt it this morning when our little choir sang Psalm 42, As a Dear Longs for Streams of Water. Oh, I was transported.

OK! I have 9 letters, so I tag Kathy, RevDrKate, PS, Diane, GannetGirl, Songbird, Rev S S, HotCup, Steve, Laura Have fun!

Love this! (Thinking about using my maiden name instead, five letters to my middle name's seven!)

You really had it tough with 9 letters! I'm impressed.

I did mine but I broke the rules :)

Katherine, I thought it would be better to do your MIDDLE name, because your first name is long, but your middle name is the same length! Good job, esp. when you have a backache and a headache. I do hope you'll feel better soon. I am so impressed that you are intuitive; I met a few people at Shalem that were, too, and I was amazed at what they sensed. Wow!

9 letters ... wow! I'm intuitive too, but no I in my middle name, which has only three letters. I did play here

This was fun, but it was challenging with a long name (Katherine is my middle....I have an "unused" first). I had to cheat on the tags though! Fun reading your facts as well. It's always interesting to learn more about our blog friends. Sorry to hear about your aches, hope they are better soon.

"The Bible does not close discussions; it seeks to open them"

-
From William Sloan Coffin in The Courage to Love: The opposite of love is not hate but fear. If we are to broaden our vision and enlarge our hearts, we must allow risk to enter our lives, permit doubt to walk hand in hand with belief. It is a mistake to sharpen our minds by narrowing them. It is a mistake to look at the Bible to close a discussion--the Bible seeks to open one.... The Bible is no oracle to be consulted for specific advice on specific problems; rather, it is a wellspring of wisdom about the ambiguity, inevitability, and the insolubility of the human situation. It sings praises to God who...provides minimum protection but maximum support.... Finally, the Bible is a signpost, not a hitching post. It points beyond itself, saying "Pay attention to God, not me." And if, as the Bible claims, "God is love, and she who abides in loves abides in God, and God abides in her," then revelation is in the relationship. In all Scripture there is no injunction more fu

Mother's Day...and Children Everywhere, It Seems!

Diane has such a beautiful post, " Mother's Day Reflections from a Non-Mother. " She expresses so eloquently much of my own feelings. Thank you, Diane. I blogged last year about the grief I finally was able to experience at not being a mother. (See: Two Souls ) And I was so blessed to receive comments from dear Lovely Passionate Feminist and from blogging friends that, to this day, have stayed with me and given me such solace. LPF, GannetGirl, Linda, Jan, thank you. (GG, I am holding you in prayer, holding you in prayer, holding you in prayer...) This past year I have seen mothering in new ways. Although I am childless, children are playing an increasing role in my life. The children at my church, to whom I am "Pastor Katherine," are amazing. I'm with them for a couple of hours once a week, but many have revealed their hearts to me. It's probably the best thing about my "job," relating to these children, loving them. This picture shows some of

Returning?

-
Giving birth has always been a powerful metaphor for me. Not that I relate it to physical pregnancy, but since I started awakening, 20 years ago now, in my early thirties, I could feel the creative element in life moving within me, making me something new. I'm listening to Jennifer Berezan's CD, "Returning." She chants throughout: returning, returning, returning to the Mother of us all... This music is haunting, smoky, with rhythms that sink to the beginning of time itself. She recorded the music is a subterranean temple/tomb used by the Neolithic people of Malta. The 3-level labyrinth has 33 chambers, stairs, passageways, all carved out of the limestone with flint and antler tools. Some of the chambers, 5.25 meters beneath the surface, are egg shaped. Maybe now you can begin to imagine the haunting quality of this elegant sound. Our local public radio station aired an interview yesterday with a scientist who is using DNA markers to track human populations movements
