Beatles Mania

by p.w.eubanks Leave a Comment on Beatles Mania

As long as I can remember, I’ve always been a Beatles fan. The first album (that wasn’t soundtrack music) anyone ever bought me was a Beatles album my sister got me for Christmas or a birthday one year. I must’ve been twelve or thirteen at the time. I already knew half the songs that played […]

20 Years On and Rethinking Empathy and Reconciliation

I’ve been thinking a lot about an old English teacher, Faye Hardin, who passed away in 2019. She was a tough old bag. Some twenty years ago when I had her my senior year, there were students in my class whose parents and grandparents had her as a teacher. She pushed students harder than most–to […]

Big moves, tiny mountains

The world of remote work, even if some eventual return means being in the office a few days a week, opened up the doors and possibilities to moving a little farther from the City, and we took the chance. It’s not that we were tired of the City. I will always need to keep one […]

Complicit Theologies: the Status Quo Church

by p.w.eubanks 1 Comment on Complicit Theologies: the Status Quo Church

I’m saddened and appalled by all that has happened at the Capitol, even more so by what I expect in the coming days and weeks will be horrific revelations that it’s much worse than we currently realize as evidence is already mounting to suggest as much. Saddened, appalled, yes–not shocked. Now comes the harder part: […]

The Smells and Changes of Hurricane Ridge

I don’t think it’s commonplace for us to regard nature as an olfactory experience. We tend to spend a lot of time out in the world viewing things, and maybe it’s just that I’m from a part of the country where freshly mowed grass is the closest you come to any sort of overwhelming smells […]

Autumn on Shelter Island

by p.w.eubanks Leave a Comment on Autumn on Shelter Island

Shelter Island is brimming with the colors of autumn. The trees are surrendering their leaves eagerly, and gold and crimson paint the landscape against a still-green grass. Needless to say, I am mesmerized by it, caught up in an awe that leaves me wandering around the island – quite literally – as though I’ve been […]

Cultivating Change from Then to Now

My family’s house in Jackson – the home I was raised in – sits on a wooded hill that’s made mostly out of a reddish mud-clay mixed with brown top-soil. I’ve no idea if those are the correct geological terms for what the stuff is; I just know that’s what it looks and acts like. […]

Waves of Change

by p.w.eubanks 1 Comment on Waves of Change

They say that Peace Corps Volunteers need one skill more than any other:  the ability to adapt.  Something tells me there’s a resounding “duh” on the other side of the computer screen with regard to that sentence.  I mean, okay, we signed up for two years in a new culture with a new language, and I […]
