A Buffalo Winter Wonderland & Photos Reminiscent of Milton Rogovin
Buffalo has seen a, seemingly, more than usual amount of snow this winter. I often look out my window to see snowflakes falling in various tempos and blankets of snow everywhere. Times like these inspire me to take up my camera. And, so, on a Thursday morning in January, I suited up in my snow […]
MLK Day, Renee Good & Migration
“We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.1 Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice […]
It’s a New Year. Time to Repent?
“From that time Jesus began to proclaim, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”—Matthew 4:17 (N.R.S.V.) “How you gon’ win if you ain’t right within? Uh uh, come again.”—Lauryn Hill, Doo Wop (That Thing) A Short Introduction Generally speaking, I struggle with the idea of repentance. It brings to mind people on street […]
Songs of Redemption
“My Soul Magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is [H]is name.” —Luke 1:46-49, N.R.S.V. I Dreamed […]
A NYC Thanksgiving & A MOMA Inspired Recipe
It’s the time of year in which it’s hard for me to keep up with my self-imposed busy schedule. However, it’s also the time of year that feels the most magical. This past Thanksgiving we were off to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade from the vantage point of Stella 34 Trattoria. While we almost missed […]
For the Brokenhearted
“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest? [Jesus] said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On […]
The Great Mystery
About ten years ago I began to feel drawn to the state of Montana. I have no explanation as to why. Up until a trip to California in 2021, I had only traveled as far west as Illinois—notwithstanding an eight-month stint in Kentucky when I was seventeen (a story for another day!). My desire to […]
To Maine, With Love
I celebrated my birthday this past Saturday in Deer Isle, Maine. I stayed at the stunning and iconic Haystack Mountain School of Crafts for a knitting retreat, organized by Christine Walker1 of Peace Tree Fiber Adventures, a local knitting retreat company. After driving to Portland Maine Wednesday2 and driving the rest of the way Thursday […]
Deep Fakes, Body Snatchers & Hands
It used to be one of the clear cut ways an expert could identify a “deep fake” was to spot oddities in the hands, like a six-fingered man, for example—”Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya; you killed my father; prepare to die.” The Princess Bride reference notwithstanding, when I learned this, I laughed out loud. […]
One Year of The Burrow!
August 31st will be one year since I began this journey, and it’s been truly wonderful. A big part of The Burrow experience is the photography I feature as part of my posts. All the photos are mine—usually I take them with my Nikon but sometimes just with my phone— and they always add something […]
