Sister Pearl's World RSS

Hi. I'm Marco's sister. Those of you who don't know me can call me Pearl. When I was nineteen, I bit into a pearl in a fried oyster in some linoleum-floored crab shack on Cape Cod.

I'm a recovering graduate student, high school Spanish teacher, unrepentant history geek, and budding mystic. I've traveled to four of the seven continents. I always love to discuss politics, religion, history, and philosophy. In my other life, I'm also a wife with really poor housekeeping skills. But I can cook.

Fall is upon us here in upstate New York, to be sure. It’s apple season, the nights are chilly, the leaves started turning a few weeks ago. I love it.

Well, because I think more people need to meet Muslims named Debbie.

— A fellow convert, responding to why she didn’t change her name upon becoming Muslim.

(BTW, contrary to popular belief, taking a “muslim name” is NOT a requirement upon conversion!)

THIS IS MY SONG

This is my song, O God of all the nations,
A song of peace for lands afar and mine.
This is my home, the country where my heart is;
Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine;
But other hearts in other lands are beating
With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.

My country’s skies are bluer than the ocean,
And sunlight beams on clover-leaf and pine.
But other lands have sunlight too and clover,
And skies are everywhere as blue as mine.
Oh, hear my song, O God of all the nations,
A song of peace for their land and for mine.

— Lloyd Stone/ Georgia Harkenss

I have so much to say

but I’m just so tired. Hopefully by the time October rolls around, I’ll actually have the time and energy to write and post all of my thoughts.
