    K. Rose replied to the topic Literary Guides and Companions in the forum Week 3 – Dante and the Companioned Journey 1 year, 3 months ago

    I think that writer would be Andrew Peterson–and I’m not just saying that because this is The Rabbit Room. His writings, both song & prose, really has significantly shaped my journey, especially more recently.

    As to what I would say, I’m not sure. I might try talking about gardening with him, since I know he has a garden he really enjoys & I…[Read more]

    K. Rose replied to the topic Steps on the Journey in the forum Week 3 – Dante and the Companioned Journey 1 year, 3 months ago

    Being brutally honest, I seem to still be stuck in the dark wood with the beast pursuing me. This week’s selections, though, give me hope for it being part of a journey, rather than a permanent condition.
    It’s also an encouragement to not try to stumble my way through alone, but seek out writers, artists, & others who can be “traveling…[Read more]

    Wow. I’ve never encountered that L’Engle poem before, Tamar. I love that.

    K. Rose replied to the topic Images of Prayer in the forum Week 2 – Deepening the Life of Prayer 1 year, 3 months ago

    “Engine against th’ Almightie, sinner’s towre / Reversed thunder, Christ-side piercing spear” from Herbert’s poem Prayer especially stuck with me last week. I’m still ruminating on the full meaning of those metaphors, but the concept of prayer as something against God is an idea I’m rolling around. (Especially when “sinner’s towre” evokes the…[Read more]

    K. Rose replied to the topic Listing Poems in the forum Week 2 – Deepening the Life of Prayer 1 year, 3 months ago

    These were just a few lines I jotted in the margin of my book. I might expand further later.

    Fingers grasping for handholds
    A desperate cry
    From the dank oubilette
    Mara’s muttered “Why?”

    A peck on the cheek
    A weekly high five
    A text dashed off,
    “Hey friend, you still alive?”

    K. Rose replied to the topic Heaven in ordinarie in the forum Week 2 – Deepening the Life of Prayer 1 year, 3 months ago

    My husband always says to me, “I’m happy to see you,” when I come into our coworking office after I wake up. Some days I wake up grumpy or sad, & I’m not terribly pleasant to him. On those days, he patiently listens to me cry or vent (or both), & says, “I’m stil happy to see you.”

    It’s those moments especially when I hear God through my husband.…[Read more]

    K. Rose replied to the topic An image for the journey in the forum Week 1 – A Pilgrimage Begins 1 year, 4 months ago

    The lines, “You push on through the pain that sets you free / Towards the day when broken bones rejoice” reminds me indirectly of 2 Samuel 9, when Jonathan’s son Mephibosheth is given his grandfather’s inheritance & sits in a seat of honor at King David’s table.

    I heard John Mark McMillian’s song “Carbon Ribs” again recently, & the image of us as…[Read more]

    K. Rose replied to the topic Delving Deeper in the forum Week 1 – A Pilgrimage Begins 1 year, 4 months ago

    Malcolm goes into more detail on this, but Satire III is part of a larger poem that’s all about Donne’s difficult search for truth, particularly among the controversies that plagued the Church in his day. It is one pf the more complex ones we’ve encountered thus far!

    K. Rose replied to the topic A season of slowness in the forum Shriven, Ashed, and Ready for Action: Preparing for Lent 1 year, 4 months ago

    Aside from this reading group, I’m staying completely off social media during Lent & refraining from talking as much as possible.

    My family’s also picked out some relevant liturgies to read for each week, Easter weekend, & today.

    K. Rose replied to the topic Introductions in the forum <em>The Word in the Wilderness</em> by Malcolm Guite 1 year, 4 months ago

    Hey, all. I’m Karley. I’m not as fond of poetry as I’d like to be, but the more I read it, the more I love it. I couldn’t possibly pick a single favorite, but Billy Collins, Propaganda, and Malcolm himself are among my current favorite poets!

    I love watching Malcolm’s “Spell in the Library videos” & really enjoyed The Singing Bowl, & I’m looking…[Read more]

    My own goodbyes to my marigolds are fresh in my mind, & this resonated deeply with me. Thank you, Gina. This is beautiful.

    K. Rose commented on the post, The Art of Preserving 2 years, 4 months ago

    Gosh, Gina, this makes me want to go make some jelly! And what a wonderful metaphor, too. I needed to be reminded of the “preserves” of joy sitting on the shelf of my heart, waiting to be opened and enjoyed during this current winter.

    K. Rose commented on the post, I Would Do It All Again: A Review of <em>For What It's Worth</em> by J Lind 2 years, 5 months ago

    I recently heard Letter to the Editor, exactly when I needed someone to put into words questions that I didn’t even know I needed to ask. It untangled a mess of jumbled emotions–anger, despair, guilt, sadness, & left me undone at my work desk (& really glad no one was looking my direction to see the tears). I finally just now listened to the rest…[Read more]

    Oh, how I needed this, Kelly. Thank you. As for stories, here’s mine:
    Coming to my first Hutchmoot was like a good dream made real. Even before DH & I arrived, I kept saying, “I can’t believe this is happening,” to DH. But when I got there Thursday, I found myself simultaneously shy & feeling like I was being awkwardly overbearing by introducing…[Read more]
