Movable Feast: posted on Dec 6, 10:52 pm by Margaret DeAngelis (Markings: Days of Her Life) - 6 entries
Tomorrow I will be attending a performance of The Nutcracker by the Pennsylvania Regional Ballet, a lavish event with guest artists, sparkling sets, in a theater I know and like. The best part — the three performances will include in the corps de ballet a young friend of mine, whose dance development I have followed since she was born. (She's nine.) (0 likes)

Westward Circumnavigation, Leg 2 - Hamburg, Germany: posted on Dec 5, 10:33 pm by Miriam (Fauxklore) - 7 entries
I could have gone to the Kunsthalle, which is supposed to be an excellent art museum. Or I could have gone to Miniature Wunderland, which includes the largest model railway system in the world and is, allegedly, the most popular tourist attraction in Germany. Instead, I chose to go to the Composers Quarter. (0 likes)

The piece offered here popped up in my Facebook memories for this day. I repeat it now because I was in danger today of forgetting what the True Meaning of the season is, what I intended the True Meaning to be for me this year.
Read it. Do it. It’s what the world needs now. (0 likes)

Most of the displays had to do with books from the Song dynasty (roughly 1100’s through 1200’s) so I kept making mental jokes about there being a lot of songbooks. (0 likes)

But the real reason for the trip was that back in 2000 I had taken a trip in which I circumnavigated the world going eastward. Because I am slightly crazy, I decided that I should also circumnavigate the world going westward. (0 likes)
what the Living Do: posted on Dec 3, 9:21 pm by Margaret DeAngelis (Markings: Days of Her Life) - 6 entries
I’m subscribed to an Advent poetry program put out by Anam Cara Ministries, . . . a place dedicated to the practice of soul friendship, coming alongside one another in order to facilitate healing, wholeness, holiness, and spiritual formation. . . The theme appealed to me for its emphasis on healing and preparation for the hard hard work ahead of us to lift our country out of the slough of despond our leadership has plunged us into. (0 likes)

My driveway is clear now. . . . Tomorrow I go back to tying up the loose ends of my obligations as an estate administrator, navigating some mobility challenges that make moving through the day problematic, observing and striving to rise above the hellscape that is our current national nightmare (that should give you a clue as to which end of the political spectrum I inhabit), reading Holidailies, and enjoying this life so full of possibilities, so full of the means to achieve them.

And the Dreams Come: posted on Dec 1, 9:09 pm by Margaret DeAngelis (Markings: Days of Her Life) - 6 entries
I've been silent, here, there, and everywhere. As I write this it is nearly 9:00 in the evening in central Pennsylvania. We’re expecting a significant accumulation of snow beginning before dawn tomorrow. I chose the lines from Archibald MacLeish not necessarily because this night is dangerous, but because the dreams will come. The wind will change tonight and I will lie down to dream about where life will lead me next. (1 like)
