Listening for ever-present God/Love. Enjoying family, friends. Digging gardens. Walking mountains, rivers. Writing poems, essays, books.

Haven't been here for a while. Spending more time on Substack writing at Catherine Lawton: Glimpses of Glory in the Unfolding Story.

@JimmieKepler Thank you, Jim! Just saw this. I hope you're enjoying my new book as much as I enjoyed writing it! I haven't been on X for over a year. Need to get back. All the best to you.

@pauljpastor I think appetite and power may appear absolutely unrestrained but cannot remain so for long.

[Catherine Lawton @Cath_Lawton]

Well, this is an honor, and occasionally work. I like being associated with Northwind Seminary as an editor to help them get their press going.

At community festivals with grandkids and friends, you never know what will capture their interest. Grinding corn with stones anyone?

@pauljpastor We're almost to that page turn here in Colorado. But I want to savor this chapter a while longer ...

@tracesoffaith Start now, learning to wait and anticipate?

[Catherine Lawton @Cath_Lawton]

@JcScharl Yes, but a bunch of us are weirdos also.

[Catherine Lawton @Cath_Lawton]

@pauljpastor Yes, but if they are "about" then they'd better also be "made of." Similar to our lives.

Even when we can't be optimistic, we can be hopeful.

@marlyyoumans A wonder-full book. I enjoyed it and was enchanted.

@drewdyck You can pile them in corners.

My 6-yr-old granddaughter: "Grandma, the bee flew close. I felt its wing on my cheek. That means it likes me." She was wearing bright pink and holding tomatoes she just picked. I said, "Maybe the bee thinks you're a flower."

So much has happened in the past year, I haven't signed on here. But friends I met here come to mind, and I wonder what they're up to. Somehow--destiny? desire? curiosity? lure?--today I knew it was time. So, hello. 👋

@tracesoffaith I'm years from 50. The other direction.

@NorthDakotaJane Ha! Hmm. Is that positive thinking or negative thinking?
