Happy Fourth of July

Last updated on: July 4, 2011 at 5:15 pm By Cat Chapin-Bishop

I remember when I first learned that war was wrong. I was nineteen years old, in love for the first time, sexual for the first time, holding my lover in my arms. I looked at his body, long, smooth, and perfect lying next to me, and I knew that it was Holy. This body I knew so well, that could bring us both so much pleasure, was sacred for that, yes–but also because it was whole, and it was living... Read more

New at No Unsacred Place

Last updated on: June 29, 2011 at 9:00 pm By Cat Chapin-Bishop

Cat has a new post, over at the Pagan Newswire Collective’s nature blog, No Unsacred Place, “Not Greener-Than-Thou” on the hazards of trying to build up a repertoire of of environmentally friendly living skills. (It turns out to be possible to make very expensive organic compost. Details here.) var fctb_tool=null; function FCTB_Init_367155ab6f457b478e4b31387d77f2f0(t) { fctb_tool=t; start(fctb_tool); } FCTB_Init_367155ab6f457b478e4b31387d77f2f0(document[‘FCTB_Init_f4306a76b4da21498daf954bc5a88a24’]); delete document[‘FCTB_Init_f4306a76b4da21498daf954bc5a88a24’] var fctb_tool=null; function FCTB_Init_e18ed4c803d60646b8b6245c6de33807(t) { fctb_tool=t; start(fctb_tool); } FCTB_Init_e18ed4c803d60646b8b6245c6de33807(document[‘FCTB_Init_7aa2a69d229d3e4e983219a065f2605e’]); delete document[‘FCTB_Init_7aa2a69d229d3e4e983219a065f2605e’] Read more

Peter Meets a Liberal Christian with Balls

Last updated on: July 11, 2014 at 11:21 am By Peter Bishop

Metaphorically, at least. Yesterday, Cat and I drove to Boston to hear the annual Weed Memorial Lecture at Beacon Hill Friends Meeting. The speaker was Peggy Senger Parsons, the pastor of Freedom Friends Church in Salem, Oregon, and for the second time this spring I’ve met someone and think, If I’d known someone like that when I was 22, It’s possible I’d still be Christian. I picked up a copy of FFC’s Faith and Practice while I was there. (For... Read more

One Morning

Last updated on: June 1, 2011 at 5:57 am By Cat Chapin-Bishop

I love living where we do. This morning, in the early gray, just after the alarm clock went off, I found myself stretching lazily to the sound of geese flying overhead–non-migrating Canada geese. I see them gleaning in fresh-turned fields or in the stubble of newly-mown hayfields at nearby farms, together with the local wild turkeys. Such a sweet, wild music, the song of wild geese. Moments later, Peter urged me out of bed. “Oh! Come see! There’s a bear–two... Read more

Over this, the last week of our first year of attempting to eliminate plastic waste in our lives, we generated another 8 oz in recyclable and non-recyclable plastic trash… and discovered a cache of another 2 lbs, 5 oz of packing materials from construction and repair projects around the house. Everything, everything around here needs repair! And everything, everything, seems to come swathed in plastic. Sometimes, when we need to special order hardware for things around the house, we get...
