Musings from Mother Jenny 8.16.2024

Next week I will thank you for our time together.

This week the reality of leaving hangs heavy.

Here’s what I will miss:

 

  • Walks to the river
  • The distant view of the US Capitol
  • Watching airplanes descend toward National Airport
  • Elmo’s, Trader Joe’s, Del Ray Cafe and Zento Sushi
  • The quiet of my apartment
  • Writing messages and musings
  • The architecture of Grace Church
  • Stained-glass windows aglow with sunlight
  • The nave bathed in candlelight
  • Glorious organ and choral music
  • Anglo-Catholic worship
  • Gorgeous altar flowers
  • The fragrant smell of incense
  • Singing the Lord’s Prayer
  • Sacred conversations
  • Navigating conflict
  • Vestry meetings

And most of all,

I will miss YOU!
