Two from Galilee

@brittarnhild

A book package in the mail is like getting a Christmas gift. Even though I knew what was inside. Even though it is November 7th and still some weeks till Christmas. I  could hardly wait till I was indoors to open the package.

It was Daena, a blog reader over at BrittArnhild´s House in the Woods, who mentioned the book for me, after reading Maria, Mary, Miriam. I did a search on amazon, and found a used copy. Two From Galilee, the Story of Mary and Joseph by Marjorie Holmes.

A perfect book for Advent, but I am not sure if I can manage to wait that long.
I want to start the book right away......

 

Or may be I shall instead use the time to write more words on my own tale about Maria?

Sacred

@brittarnhild

Some time in the future I hope to be able to take some time off. There is a topic I want to study. Or rather, there is a topic I am already studying, a topic I have "studied" since I was a kid. 

It is about The Sacred.

What does sacred mean? What is sacred in my life? 
Places, times, people, words, belief.......

 

My home is filled, not only with books, but also with notebooks. Diaries and travel diaries dominates, but then there are notebooks for every single purpose you can imagine, handmade by myslef, bought on travels, gifts, impulsive buyings, because I deserve it buyings......you name it.

A special one, a light grey BOOKBINDERS DESIGN, is my SACRED notebook. Where I write down "everything sacred", tales, memories, hymns, memories, thoughts on the sacred.

 

This book is becoming sacred to me :-)

 

Last year I discovered Sacred Bath together with Martin Palmer, the author of Sacred Land.
Martin, the walk I followed, the book I am reading......it all helps me on my own sacred journey.
