Published!

So, this happened:



That's a talk I gave in church back in May, now published in this:



They run a Sabbath pastoral section for Sacrament meeting talks.  I spoke on Mother's Day (yes, Mother's Day.  That was a bit of salt in a wound), and immediately afterwards Fara approached me about getting the talk in the Exponent.

I was asked to speak about "The Divine Nature of Women."  Since I was loathe to perpetuate the patronizing "women are such wonderful, angelic creatures" hyperbole, I flipped a couple of words around and spoke instead about Frye's theory of green spaces in Shakespeare and how that could relate to the biblical story of Hagar.

I was particularly curious to see what they would pick for pull quotes.



Look at that!  Words I wrote are centered between two columns.  Woot!

  1. So you went with Hagar as your divine woman in nature? Interesting. I would have gone with a certain drama teacher galloping on a camel across the Sahara...
