The sun climbs over the Family Dollar
And makes a cricket in the rosemary
Every cricket,
The GRTC bus all busses,
This porch rocker the watchtower of a besieged city.
When your heart holds its breath what does it hope for?

At Boston Logan airport and
Saw an industrious staff person come by with a broom and
Dustpan and
Sweep up everyone’s iced coffees.

One I've decided to take a run before work, it still takes me 45 minutes to talk myself into it.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

When disciples of Christ are transparent in heart and sensitive in life, they bring the Lord’s light to the places where they live and work.

Jerusalem v exile helpful for grappling with racism in the Church. Would like to hear: what can flourish in this hard soil? #cgrva2016

[Bob Nickles @bobdimes]

"Do it all... You don't know until you try." Marc Cheatham is a high energy guy. Can he talk more about what fuels him? #cgrva2016

[Bob Nickles @bobdimes]

Contemplating "difference between flourishing and withering," but need an acknowledgement of deep cost of engagement w/withering. #cgrva2016

[Bob Nickles @bobdimes]

Wondering how David Kim would talk about funding for and delivery of public services in terms of formlessness and emptiness. #cgrva2016

[Bob Nickles @bobdimes]

Really enjoying #cgrva2016 today. Would love to hear more from Libbie about surfing the edge of burnout.
