By: Gabriela Yareliz I walked out with a neighbor. There is an intimacy to being a neighbor. You hear them yell at their kids, and they see you go grab a package in PJs. So when you see each other fully dressed and calm moving through the real world, it’s always interesting. Not good orContinue reading “Neighbors, Histamines and Noticing”

What the End Looks Like
By: Gabriela Yareliz Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. What does this time remind us of? Even when we are confused, God is doing His thing. Our confusion doesn’t mean a plan is halted. The disciples thought the world had gone insane. Jesus was right on track. He knew exactly what He was walking into. Sometimes,Continue reading “What the End Looks Like”
This Week’s Favorites (4.1.26)
“April, the angel of the months.” Vita Sackville-West By: Gabriela Yareliz Thank God March is over. That is all I can say. March was a month that felt a lot like drowning. It’s another day in another week, but when we start a new month, I picture a hand turning a page into a nextContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites (4.1.26)”
Fixated on Hope
This holy silent Sabbath on Easter weekend has a powerful message for us all. This morning, I heard a priest say, “We must look at the cross and dare to find beauty in it.” Not only should we look at Christ’s cross and find beauty in it, but we should look at our own crossContinue reading “Fixated on Hope”

By: Gabriela Yareliz Despair seems to be as available as the air we breathe. It feels palpable. I see it in the faces of strangers, colleagues, clients. I sense it, too, in those I love. I sense it in myself, at times. The thing about despair is that when we breathe it in, it seemsContinue reading “Rise”

It always brings tears to my eyes, not because of its darkness, its gory nature or the subject of death. None of these things alone are what compels a deep surge of emotion in me. To me,Continue reading “Studio Update 23”
Liberation
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, life feels like some weird social experiment. Have you noticed? People seem to get less caring and crazier, by the minute. And by crazy, I don’t mean funny-cute-wild, but reckless-not appreciating-consequences-and-mental-health-issue crazy. Life on this sinful planet can make us a bit crazy. Life’s pain and unpredictability can leave us likeContinue reading “Liberation”
Nietzsche’s “God on the Cross”
By: Gabriela Yareliz This weekend, we celebrate God’s intervention in the universe to save humanity. I couldn’t pass up this opportunity to talk about something that is deeply important to me– the most important thing of all. It is what inspires my life, my writing, everything… “Christianity is the only religion in which God suffersContinue reading “Nietzsche’s “God on the Cross””
