You know you’ve entered that scary bride place when at first, upon reading a wedding guide, you don’t find anything out of the ordinary in a blank reserved for “Head circumferences for each bridesmaid/flower girl.”
How worrying.

Today work is all too worky, but tomorrow I am going on an adventure.
metereological predictions
My engagement ring is spinning like crazy today. I will pretend that it can predict the weather, and that the spinning means rain.
It helps that I haven’t been/seen outside since 9 a.m.
Just call me the scanner-jammin’ queen. All in all, however, a productive day.
The Anglican Hook-Up
One of my parents’ friends over in the Water Bureau, who is also Anglican, told me about a church in London, near the British Museum, which is tucked away but has a vibrant outreach life. It’s called St. George the Martyr, after the patron saint of London.
We’ll have to check it out.

The ethics of visiting developing countries with potentially corrupt governments. A little confusing, but very thought-provoking!
“
For most of us, there is only the unattended
Moment, the moment in and out of time,
The distraction fit, lost in a shaft of sunlight,
The wild thyme unseen, or the winter lightning
Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply
That it is not heard at all, but you are the music
While the music lasts. There are only hints and guesses,
Hints followed by guesses; and the rest
Is prayer, observance, discipline, thought, and action.
The hint half guessed, the gift half understood, is Incarnation.”
” —T.S. Eliot, “The Dry Salvages,” Four Quartets
