No eternal transaction,
struck at a crossroads,
sealed at midnight,
while the air reeks of sulphur,
but bit by bit,
choice by choice,
piece by piece,
I sell my soul
until I know longer resemble
who I want to be,
hope to be,
am intended to be.

Much done
once done
begin anew.
Half done
not done
begin anew.
Words said
deeds show
begin anew.

I have been looking forward to this book since I first learned it was being written. A lot of good people writing this important work. I look forward to reading it.
A new book, Here I Am: Faith Stories of Korean American Clergywomen(Philadelphia: Judson Press) is released today, October 20, 2015.
This is a special book as it was written in part to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Korean American Presbyterian Clergywoman (2015). Therefore, help us celebrate our anniversary and share the news of our book book.

Crawling-flying,
flying-crawling,
seconds turn to
minutes to
hours to
days to
weeks to
months to
years,
never enough,
never enough,
always never enough.

A moment comes
in the journey of every hobbit,
perhaps as the hobbit goes there
or maybe on the way back again
when the journey reaches a critical moment
and the hobbit encounters a choice
of where to go
or how to proceed
or both.
Often in such moments,
something or someone
circumstances,
external factors,
a council,
a fellowship,
a friend,
a wizard
shows the way,
points the direction if,
if,
if the hobbit has wisdom and grace
courage and strength
faith and hope
to listen
to hear
and to choose.

My copy of Embracing the Other, written by my friend Grace Ji-Sun Kim, arrived. I look forward to reading Grace’s reflections on how the Holy Spirit inspires and sustains us to work toward healing, reconciliation, and justice among all people, regardless of race or gender. You can too!
See you along the Trail.
