Happy Epiphany, friends!
January 6, 2022
Epiphany, the story of the wise men, is not all about a feast. They traveled a long way. They unwittingly entered enemy territory. Herod was scared, “and all of Judea with him” (according to Matthew 2:3). The wise men inadvertently incited a Biblical genocide. When they reached their destination, they did not set up camp. That was never the point.
I’ve never been much for resolutions.
Resolutions = re-solutions
I don’t like the idea of re-solving the same thing over and over. I’d prefer to solve it and then move on. (Yes, I realize the irony of that because I am a slow processor who appears to re-solve and re-think for 800 years and then still can’t really say what I want.) So I’m not calling them resolutions, but I am saying there are some things I want in 2022. I’m putting them out here so y’all can hold me accountable.
I want to be financially self-sufficient.
I want to publish a book.
I want to stop my brain from rotting in my head.
Saltwater Writing
Words are our shared ocean. They act as a tide upon us, compelling us either toward the shore or out to sea.
I’m Sarah. I write saltwater words.
