Hi. I'm Rebecca.
I'm a #teacher, primarily high school English #literacy / #ELA with predominantly second-language speakers. #HabloEspañol. I work in #ChristianEd. I'm interested in everything #education and #pedagogy. Alumna of #ClearTheAir.
My formal training is in #linguistics. I know enough #ASL to get myself into trouble but not out of it. Sign name R-dimple in my local community.
I'm a misfit #Christian who grew up fundamentalist, went liberal Baptist for two years, became a classic case of Young, Restless, and #Reformed (but still Baptist), and am now learning to have no heroes but Jesus. The #Bible is good; #theology is not an intellectual exercise. Holding religious freedom and soul liberty together with a historically Christian sexual ethic. Miss the high church liturgy. #Monasticism-curious. Hate abuse, love survivors. #Missionary sent to the Dominican Republic.
I'm currently learning #photography and currently trying for a year of #WeeklyPhotoChallenge to practice my skills.
It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine. #GoBlue 〽️

Finished my longest water fast yet - due to bad math I thought it was going to be 36 hours, but turned out to be 40.
Vivid dreams returned last night and ketp flu hit bad this morning, so I ended the fast with gentle protein. Was spiritually rewarding, fruitful, and challenging.
Yesterday the month of Toxcatl ended, and the confessionary is closed again for another year, which was the occasion for the fast.

There does seem to be a remarkable similarity between #neoplatonism particularly as expounded by #plotinus and #Buddhism. And it may not be coincidental that #Christian #monasticism developed first in #Egypt - the region most accessible to #india - the then centre of #Buddhism.

Since I had no idea what an anchorite or anchoress was, I had to look it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchorite
#Christianity #anthropology #anchoress #anchorite #monasticism
"This medieval woman was buried in a tightly crouched position within the apse of the church foundations, a small room located behind the altar."

228 followers · 789 posts · Server mas.toA big part of my #monastic #contemplative practice is in the constant, even daily, honoring of my limitations as a human being. "Honoring" is a deliberate word choice - it includes acceptance and observation, but also respect and deference. I defer to my limitations in a way that reaffirms my dependence on others, the Gods, and the whole of creation.
One cannot do anything alone.
