Is Spaceflight a Religion?

Is spaceflight a religion? Well, what constitutes a “religion” is
notoriously hard to define, but the attachment of many persons, my younger

“Actionable” “Intelligence”

Listening to Dick Cheney whine about the oft-neglected sunny side of torture
this week has left me musing about the theme of “actionable intelligence”

A "space" for photography

I am not ashamed to admit, I am a total architecture geek. Therefore, I
could not wait to get over to the new Annenberg Space for Photography IRIS
NIGHT...
On a related note, my mom just unearthed my old Bugs Bunny bedspread that she made when I was in kindergarten. It's now at our house awaiting our first kid (we're in the middle of the adoption process).
That's an excellent Peanuts drawing too! And the "which way to go" drawing would make a great T-shirt.
I love these Priscilla, I have that exact same sort of conversation in my head -- i'd love to see a cartoon book/graphic novel about being sick from you.
I write and I draw. I’m a wreck, but I’m basically happy. I have radical fatigue, soft tissue pain, and autonomic dysfunction. This blog is about my life and everything else. My writing tends to be more essayistic than bitsy-piecey, so some posts are longish, as blog posts go. Hey—that’s my style.
I'm a theological kinda gal too—incarnational and sacramental, but I rove about as well. If you're allergic to all things religious, please ignore those posts. And if you must know, my worship home is the Episcopal Church and anywhere else I happen to be. I usually happen to be at home. I can be reached by e-mail at msleaf at wildblue dot net. I try to respond to all e-mails, but I'm not physically capable of carrying on any substantive private correspondence.
Don’t be fooled by this blog into an exaggerated idea of my physical functionality: Because my hands (and all my other parts) are prone to pain, I couldn’t do it without mega-help from my husband Larry and my keen friend Alan. Alan transcribes my original drafts. Larry helps in numerous ways. Most, but not all, recent photographs are taken by him. The parts I do myself give me pain, make me happy, and wear me out. It’s tricky to do these things without causing myself trouble, but I’m a maker by nature, and it feels damn good to be at it again, even a little bit.

One of the barriers to therapy was the fact that I found a lot of my social

I’ve always loved the ways pelicans dive, as if each silver fish they see

No more Art for you!

So, I’ve decided to delete the Art and Excerpts/Quotes pages on the blog.
The main reason for this is that no one ever really visits these pages, and

*Tithonus*
I paused on the stair landing this morning, and looking out the south-facing
window, saw Venus blazing alone in the soft sky.

2026

In my mid-20s I flirted with getting a giant tattoo -- a simple, if vaguely
Gaelic, inscription of the number: "2026."
I had around that time been studying...
