Barefoot and Preaching: Make space for wildflowers of the soul /opinion/columnists/item/27953-barefoot-and-preaching-make-space-for-wildflowers-of-the-soul /opinion/columnists/item/27953-barefoot-and-preaching-make-space-for-wildflowers-of-the-soul

Growing up in rural Saskatchewan planted a special place in my heart for the wildflowers that grow in the ditches. Blue alfalfa, purple thistles, bright yellow brown-eyed susans. When I moved to the city to study, I saw them less frequently, and I did not realize how much I missed the wildflowers until I spent several weeks at a youth camp this summer, thanks to my husbandöÏÓãÊÓƵapp working there and my maternity leave.

NISKAYUNA, N.Y. - The night she miscarried in 1968, Dorothy Caruso remembers remaining calm, as if she was watching someone else losing a much-wanted pregnancy. The baby was about three months along; she’d already bought a white baby sweater and a set of blocks.

In the garden, Jesus chooses forgiveness /faith/columnists/item/19941-in-the-garden-jesus-chooses-forgiveness /faith/columnists/item/19941-in-the-garden-jesus-chooses-forgiveness

Several years ago, Mel Gibson produced and directed a movie which enjoyed a spectacular popularity. Entitled The Passion of the Christ, the movie depicts Jesus’ paschal journey from the Garden of Gethsemane to His death on Golgotha, but with a very heavy emphasis on his physical suffering. The movie shows in graphic detail what someone who was being crucified might have had to endure in terms of being physically beaten, tortured and humiliated.
