“A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves.” – Marcel Proust

There could be a corollary that says:

“If we change ourselves we can change the weather or the way we look at the weather and change the world along the way.” Don Felipé.

I had a long talk with Padre Tomás yesterday and I came away knowing why the birds sing and how I can change the way I look at the weather.

“To grow up Catholic is to be especially lucky as an artist, because you are soaked in miracle and mystery and symbol and smoke and the confident assertion that every moment is pregnant with miracle and possibility and stuffed with holiness like a turducken” – Brian Doyle

Around here we love Brian Doyle author, poet and Catholic thinker. Who else could work turducken into a serious sentence?

“So I wrote you a poem:

A stable of horses is nice
but just one will suffice,
and sunflowers in a row
Make it easier to mow.
Sometimes the sky
makes us want to cry
when filled with Spanish eagles
or even Vashon seagulls.”

Catalina is working on the material in the archives of this blog and in the process is digging up a lot of the past, our past. It’s scary fun.

Off to the corn loves, Felipé.
