"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner
Come in! Come in!
"If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a Hope-er, a Pray-er, a Magic Bean buyer; if you're a pretender, come sit by my fire. For we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!" -- Shel Silverstein

ASL Partay!
Jon Richardson introduced me on to this guy's work. His name is Stephen Torrence, who is signing this Miley Cyrus hit in American Sign Language.
When we lived in Seattle in the mid 80's the Seattle Mens Chorus had a sign interpreter for their concerts who was phenomenal. It was a combination of not only signing but also aspects of dance, all without moving from one spot. I would be mesmerized watching him and then miss things on stage!
David, that gifted man is Kevin Gallagher--and he's still doing it, all these years later. ASL is available regularly at my home parish on Sundays and feast days.
Elizabeth, thank you for your blog. It's a treat to feast on it on my lunch hour.

I LOVE to watch ASL during a concert. It's absolutely mesmerizing. I'm delighted to see that there's ASL YouTube.
