What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Mary Magdalene – Pray for Us

    Am terribly saddened to hear news just in from the Bishop of California that two of the icons of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco have been destroyed.

    One was of John Donne and this one was of Mary Magdalene.
    Mary Mag

    I saw her every day when I spend three weeks living at Grace Cathedral last year. She always seemed to me to be particulary striking, serene and somehow unsettling. She was a bearer of the divine, in other words.

    There are images which some people cannot bear. This proved to be one one such.

    Mary Magdalene and John Donne – pray with us for a world free from violence, free from attack, free from fears within and fears without.

    Amen.

    you forgot to mention that light boxes work much better in proper offices, rather than those shared with cats.

    Oh, that’s one of those PhD theses never yet completed: Symbiosis and Stasis – the effect of cats on lightboxes, the effect of lightboxes on cats and the effects of each on those living with Seasonally Affective Disorder.

    According to those posters on the underground, catowners are apparently more stress-free and content and the norm so, surely, a cat AND light box owner ought to be chirpy as Santa Clause!

    Thanks Coxy. Can I also saw how much I am in awe of your Church Times Page 3 Stunner success this week.

    A media triumph.

    Now, if I dressed up in pink and had my photo taken running about in shorts, I wonder if the Church Times….

    Not a CT subscriber, so : Link?!! Hope it was the neon number 😉

    Although surely, given the choice, Italian Vanity Fair makes for the more impressive C.V. entry 😉
