(Wendy Cabell, February 25, 2021, feast day of Saint Walburga, whose tradition of miraculous healing oil inspired the above image.)

February 25, 2021, after encountering the Blanchernae Icon of the Mother of God through Spiritual Tools For Artists (Pastor Evan Clendenin, Janice Ariza), Saint Placid’s Priory, Washington* 

under one Spring sun, 

some soft broken bread–-simply 

showing up is prayer

* Also inspired by: "It's rhythm again, isn't it? We've lost our sense of creating rhythm in our daily encounter with God. We think sometimes that real encounter with God has to be exceptional, exciting, different, dramatic, and we don't think of it as simply turning up --and simply turning up in the sense of opening the Bible, reciting a Psalm. Simply turning up in the quiet we give to God." --Rowan Williams, interview with The Christian Century (Faith, Imagination and the Glory of Ordinary Life)
