all the while counting sheep...: Back for 10 days: How Was Nigeria?

All the while counting sheep. Saturday, December 6, 2008. Back for 10 days: How Was Nigeria? How are you supposed to respond to that question. People keep asking me as if I should have figured it all out, as if there was a word to describe the past three months in a way that will allow them to understand what it was like. But the truth is there isn’t. At least not yet. Why do I feel so at home and yet so foreign in both of these lands? How am I supposed to feel, God? What am I supposed to do? Thanks alot...

why hello, pilgrimage!: February 2008
http://jmastafarian.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Why hello, pilgrimage! Friday, February 29, 2008. This is a little something I wrote yesterday for this month's FIFUL Faith and Justice Forum; the topic was transportation and justice. Here are my two cents, whatever that adds up to. : ). Some of my favorite people, the Amish, say they ride buggies because it slows them down. The bus is my buggy, reminding me to slow down and think about the choices I make in life. Am I choosing to live a life marked by convenience and comfort and self-sufficienc...That ...

Why hello, pilgrimage! Friday, March 21, 2008. This is my new favorite thing. My world smelled delicious for hours afterward. And who says I can't enjoy a pipe because I am a woman?

This is my new favorite thing. This is how it works. You're young until you're not. You love until you don't. You try until you can't.

why hello, pilgrimage!: April 2008

Why hello, pilgrimage! Friday, April 25, 2008. Does this make anyone else cry? I can't tell if it's the mournful guitar intro, or Merry Clayton's powerful pleading voice, or simply the word. All this destruction is just a shot away, if we don't pay attention to it and keep it from happening. It always makes me cry, but I never really listened to the lyrics until tonight. And somehow they drove it home. Mick Jagger in a Rolling Stone interview:. Oh, a storm is threat'ning. My very life today. It's just a ...

Joanna's TREK: February 2008
http://joannastrek.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Just a few more days. I've been able to see things in my life that I need to surrender to Him, give up to Him, ask Him, and praise Him for the grace that He has for me. I want to challenge you as you stay updated with me, that you may feel God calling you to a deeper relationship with Him and I pray that you come to that realization DAILY! I pray that you be encouraged to be "covered in the dust of your Rabbi.". In Christ abounding Love,. Thursday, February 21, 2008. One of ...

Why hello, pilgrimage! Wednesday, August 27, 2008. The more you see. The less you know. The less you find out as you go. I knew much more then, than i do now. I sat in a class today, one that i sat in precisely two years ago. Theology, culture, and u2. One of the first classes that allowed me to realize the beautiful complexity and connectedness and enigma and challenge of the world around us. and gently asked me to take ownership and embrace of my small piece of the world that i have been given. Layover...

why hello, pilgrimage!: June 2008
http://jmastafarian.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Why hello, pilgrimage! Tuesday, June 17, 2008. I had a good day. Did you? Today I met a man named Singh while we were waiting at the doctor's office, for an appointment I had no desire to follow through with. Today I had the chance to dance around with some great authors and play my harmonica to old time revival music, complete with washboard. We heard Mark Scandrette give an incredible spoken word exhortation to reimagine. everything. Really, who wouldn't want to meet these guys? Sunday, June 8, 2008.

Why hello, pilgrimage! Wednesday, July 9, 2008. Jesus for president. the book, the tour, the wonder of it all. Shane claiborne, chris haw, some psalters, and friends roll into town to shake things up. you should definitely be there. Stanislaus and l street. Provoking the political imagination. Taking politics beyond what we think they are capable of. Making our own clothes. Rethinking the way we understand justice. Learning how to create peace creatively. Eating locally and organically. You're young unti...

why hello, pilgrimage!: India's pretty self-explanatory.
http://jmastafarian.blogspot.com/2009/02/indias-pretty-self-explanatory.html
Why hello, pilgrimage! Thursday, February 19, 2009. My new grandmotherly spritely friend Jay and I saw a Bolloywood film together in Bangalore the other day. Fun. : ). Although we couldn't understand absolutely any of the Hindi spoken and sung, the visuals were India just as I am experiencing it outside the doors of classy Rex Cinema. In this vision I answer him/her simplistically and holistically as I point to the screen and shrug nonchalantly- "India's pretty self-explanatory.". Q is my favorite. Fresn...
