I was born into a Catholic family.
The oldest of four girls, we all attended parochial school.
Religion was drummed into us, fear & shame, with a sprinkle of a miracle stuck with me.

Heaven & hell the polar opposites, results of our behavior, depending if we made it to confession first.

But there was also limbo, a place for infants who weren't baptized. OMG can you imagine teaching children infants would be left in limbo forever, through no fault of their own...
Now you know why I rejected religion.

Living during these troubling times feels like limbo.
Through no fault of our own, we wait, wait till its safe to go out, safe to see loved ones, safe to believe this has passed.
I am grateful for this computer, that's its Spring & the days are lighter & warmer.
And I'm grateful for the people who share how they are living each day.
Stay safe people xox
