\"\"<\/a>Hello, hello.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Almost August\u2014can you believe it? I know I am old because time is passing more quickly, and not just because it\u2019s summer.<\/p>\n

When I published Solace in So Many Words <\/strong><\/em>I made a decision not to include work that was overtly religious. There were several reasons for that.<\/p>\n

But I know that God and religion and faith and prayer are all-important sources of solace for many people.<\/p>\n

So today\u2019s posts reflect that.<\/p>\n

Laura Rodley\u2019s<\/strong> poem “Meeting the Father”<\/strong> in the Guest Post<\/strong><\/a> talks about someone whose has devoted her life to God.<\/p>\n

For Glimpse of Solace<\/a>,<\/strong> we have photos by Kevin Nance<\/strong>; they’re photos he has taken of the art, architecture, and people of his place of worship, St. James Cathedral in Chicago<\/strong>. He has said this place is one of great solace for him. I think you\u2019ll agree that this comes across in his photos.<\/p>\n

These photos (and more) are currently featured in the exhibit How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place.<\/a> <\/strong> It is at the Kyle’s Place Gallery<\/strong> at the St. James Commons<\/strong> (as well in in the Cathedral nave); the address is 65 E. Huron, Chicago<\/strong>. The exhibit is open weekdays from 8:30 to 5:30 and 9:00 am to 1:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday. The exhibit ends August 15<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You can also see (and purchase) Kevin Nance’s photographs at the Andersonville Galleria<\/strong><\/a>, 5247 North Clark, Chicago.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Laura and Kevin for sharing their work and thanks to you for reading.<\/p>\n

Summer days are fleeting so enjoy yourself. I’ll catch up again when it’s August. I am going to scoot now, to go work in the yard.<\/p>\n

Peace, love, and solace <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
