A Ray of Light from Prison

On Monday, I had pastoral visits at Oshkosh Correctional. It's a space for residents of prison to be seen (really seen), listened to, and cared for; to talk about life and meditation; to deepen self-awareness and healing.

Tomorrow is the autumnal equinox. Wind blows. Light changes. Leaves turn. We transition.

Creative Expression (yes, during a pandemic!)

Recently, I’ve felt uninspired. There’s a heaviness in the air. Heaviness of injustice, grief, and uncertainty.

I want to escape. I want to run from my internal messiness. From the discomfort, shame, rage, and deep sadness. And still, I stay.

My emotions are close to the surface. I feel raw, vulnerable, and unsettled.

It's Okay to Not Be Okay

Yesterday, I had three (in-person!) pastoral visits at Oshkosh Correctional. These are spaces of deep listening and bearing witness, as well as reflecting the prisoner’s goodness and growth back to them.
