Community Complex

Last updated on: September 23, 2014 at 2:48 pm   By Niki Whiting

Whenever the discussion of community comes up and some one expresses dissatisfaction, inevitably a dude says something along the lines of "Well, why do you make your own community?"

What I Miss About Being A Christian

Last updated on: September 15, 2014 at 7:00 am   By Niki Whiting

It might seem odd that I am thrown into fits of nostalgia just from seeing a dude carrying a guitar walk out from a church.

Sometimes I miss getting lost in a beautiful liturgy, feeling elevated by the chants or singing and the incense. Read more

Autumnal Updates

Last updated on: September 4, 2014 at 5:36 am   By Niki Whiting

I haven’t been at my regular posting for the last week. Let me catch you up speed. *Last Friday was Ganesh Chaturthi, Ganesh’s birthday. For many people, this involves a special puja and/or community celebrations. Some people celebrate for a week. Many Hindus in India make their own murtis out of various materials that dissolve in water; little Ganeshas float down rivers until they are no more. In our house we have a birthday party.
