If you want to start a fight among normally calm and grounded potters, just ask what makes pots explode in the kiln.

The choices are, for the most part, moisture, or air bubbles. Lines will be drawn, arguments will be composed, and chaos will ensue. Whatever we have been taught, we will defend almost to the death.

Fr. Glenn: The Rewards Of Labor

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones

Happy Labor Day weekend to everyone! We are now seeing how the days are shortening, the weather is cooling, schools are opening (some, at least) and the cottonwoods along the Rio Grande are beginning to acquire a yellow tint, hinting of the nearness of autumn. Then there are the campaign signs blossoming along the wayside … candidates positioning … pundits  screeching. Ah, well…

Now Labor Day is the perfect time to contemplate the value and obligation of human work.

We all have the responsibility to work in one way or the other if we are able. Even St. Paul writes: “If anyone will Read More

September.

Our month of change. Our month of happy change. Once more we can stand the thought of wearing a sweater as the summer sun burns itself down.

Once again we can think about a new school year and the special challenges we face this fall. Once again, the house is quiet during the day.

September.

In the forest, the animals are polishing antlers, sleeking muscles for the mating ruts to come, marking their territories. The deciduous trees are showing those awesome changes of color as the mountains become a splendid quilt of transient beauty.

September.
