Lovely writing- yours and McCracken's. Last night I read the article in the NYT's about Mother Theresa's...cult? and remembered reading Hitchen's "Missionary Position". And then I read through some of the many comments on the article. They were as divided as one might imagine. I am about to the point where I think that all religions are cults.
Love the idea of your flying through the high altitudes, letting your cares drop into that ocean of space. Beautiful.
They say that truth is the first casualty of war but I think it's children. They give up their lives and they give up their childhoods and their futures are held hostage by trauma and fear.

No glory forever and ever, the sorrow of war without end. Amen.
Always honoring the lives of the children, the loosening into love and hope, the way the peonies speak without words. Thank you, Elisabeth.
Especially about the Palestinian children.
I did read about Mother Theresa - especially through Christopher Hitchens [may even have watched THE MISSIONARY POSITION in the last 2 years].
I also am thinking about the children, constantly. :(

I loved The Souvenir Museum! And I'm glad to find your newsletter here, Elizabeth.
My God, Elizabeth, every word. You slay me in the most life-giving way.
