• I'm still on semi-sabbatical or gap half year: physically, mentally, emotionally, intellectually, in a good overall space. To quote myself from a while ago:

Getting settled into the long liturgical Ordinary Time, a.k.a. Green Season, I appreciate again how it demonstrates and parallels our own growth in all areas of life and how the use of green reminds us of our covenant with all creation. More than the other three seasons, summer seems to make redemptively remembering the past and creatively dreaming about the future almost easy.

• This closing yellow hibiscus opened in the side yard a couple days ago.
