Writing the Spiritual Life

Last updated on: February 3, 2016 at 7:24 pm   By Cat Chapin-Bishop

To write about Spirit is to risk distorting or distracting from the experience itself, whether of ritual, dream, or gnosis. Words are two dimensional, even when they create the illusion of more, and we always change the map of the world when we render it flat. Read more

Why I’m Uneasy with Martin Luther King Day

Last updated on: January 18, 2016 at 3:21 pm   By Cat Chapin-Bishop

I wish I had never seen this, but I've actually seen it more times than I care to count: a black person speaks out against present-day racism and violence, and a white person attempts to shame him into silence by invoking Martin Luther King and what the white person is pleased to call "non-violence." Read more

Last updated on: December 10, 2015 at 10:15 pm   By Cat Chapin-Bishop
