A rather minor point, but it’s OK to fall in love with your therapist. A therapist (should) be trained to explore this and use it to examine the underlying issues. Without succumbing to it, obviously.

That final comma is *absolutely* important!

I was married to a episcopal priest for 33 yrs, His previous marriage ended in divorce after 17 years, He reinvented himself as a voc rehab counselor with nys and had ties with the church as per diem for fill ins. This was unique. He loved it. My regrets are never severing his past full time priest life and fully embracing the current with 2 children of our own, Yes we had good times but I felt I was a fish out of water neither here or there. Harry died Feb 2014 we 3 are reinventing ourselves in the here and now but always look back- what if, how come, its hard. My advice. Know that special man in black frim the seminary. Immerse yourself in his life and know it would be quite unique.

The curtain goes up to reveal a gauze that will remain in place to obscure the first scenes. Clouds can be seen scudding across it…

https://youtu.be/738ChTRb61I?t=2104 Years ago I remember going on holiday. It was my kind of travel – ferries and trains and buses and then a sailing trip with friends who used to take me despite and not because of my sailing abilities. And there was this one morning that I remember. Will always remember. I’d managed to…

That Damn Magnificat
A sermon preached in St Mary’s Cathedral on Good Friday 2022 There’s something about spending these three hours in a church dedicated to Mary. Through the year, we often get particular joy from keeping the Marian festivals. We’ve got more music in the choir library about her than about any of the others who accompanied…
